[quote=Anonymous]I am a Catholic school parent (bigger than average school) in the Diocese of Arlington. I would say 99% of students who applied to Oconnell or PVI were accepted. Our school sent over 35 students to these schools this year. Some years the school sends from zero students to Gonzaga, to up to about 10. School has 55-62 students per graduating class. Many parents of average to low students choose Catholic schools over public because they are afraid they will fall through the cracks, or befriend “the wrong crowd”. Many high achieving students end up going to public high schools and do extremely well. They all end up going to similar universities in the end. The strong students in k-8 end up going to higher ranked universities. Attending a public or Catholic high school does not seem to make a difference. [/quote]
