[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t call MD a “very catholic school”.

I know several families who send their boys there because they don’t want to deal with the crazy DEI / woke BS  that is found in MCPS. I wouldn’t call these families even practicing Catholics - they show 2x a year.

Most of these families  don’t feel like dropping $45K to send their kids to STA or Landon or Bullis for lower school education and settle on MD which is more aligned with their budget.

Then why do 95% of grads go onto Catholic schools? [/quote]

Because those are the only schools most of those kids can get into. [/quote]

We will never know whether this is true. Because the MD people only apply to Catholic high schools. [/quote]

Not necessarily a complete list - might be missing a few, but confirmed High Schools that MD grads have gone to in the last 5 years (including this year's 8th grade class): GP, GZ, STA, GC, SJC, Bullis, Landon, Episcopal, GDS, Lawrenceville, Deerfield & Avon Old Farms. 4 are Catholic schools, 8 are not. A number of the HS's are very competitive to get into.

On average, the top 15% - 20% of MD 8th graders are high academic achievers, obviously that varies by year.  My guess is that's a similar statistic to other elementary schools in the area (so not suggesting it's unique to MD).  Not arguing it's a perfect school and similar to basically every other private school in the area, it has its share of parents that need a reality check and attitude adjustment, but the hate is fairly inaccurate and a little over the top (so right on par for DCUM).

A very odd take. A list of schools but no indication that most of them get very, very few MD kids. Prep, Gonzaga and SJC dominate. Depending on the year, anywhere from 50% to 75%!of the graduating class go to one school, Georgetown Prep. One name given to Mater Dei is “Prep for Prep”.[/quote]
