[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two more area girls Catholic high schools to add to the list.

Academy of the Holy Cross:
They did not post a matriculation list for last year, however, they did post "college acceptances."  Keep in mind that with acceptances, one student is often accepted to multiple schools, so not a great tool for evaluation.  However, there were only 3 top 25 schools on the list (UVA, Northwestern, and Georgetown).  Those three could have been one person, but we don't really know.  Even if it were three separate students, the percentage of students attending top 25 schools is extremely low in this school.  https://www.academyoftheholycross.org/sisterhood/graduation2022/2022-college-acceptances

Oakcrest:
This school also only posted acceptances.  Only 2 top 25 schools on their list of accetences (Penn and UVA). https://oakcrest.myschoolapp.com/ftpimages/1017/download/download_7071134.pdf[/quote]

The Academy of the Holy Cross is full of MAGA it has never been a bastion of academics. My DD played Basketball and soccer with families from here. She was the only one not attending HC. Long story as to how she ended up on this team. We experienced this from age 11 -18. I am absolutely horrified at how many of these families are now cult members spewing crap from Epoch times. That alone tells me academics are not there.

You post about MAGA families at AHC every time it's mentioned here. My DD is a recent grad and we never once encountered any MAGA families nor did my daughter report that of any of her friends' families. I'm a dyed in the wool liberal so I would be on high alert on this. You must have encountered a small group that somehow clouded your thinking. 
Yes, the school's college placement isn't as great as the other schools. I think this is in part due to the fact that it has a much higher percentage of girls who need financial aid for college so they go where they can get the most money. [/quote]

Agreed.  We have not encountered any MAGA idiocy at AHC and would not be happy about that.  I don't know what the PP is talking about.

There is a lot of snobbery toward AHC on this forum.  SR and Visi cater to wealthier families who have narrow definitions of success and failure when it comes to college.[/quote]

We have had two DDs at AHC and we have never encountered any MAGA. We do however know many Trumpers who sent their DDs to SR and especially Visitation based in part on their MAGA politics. Neither one is the full-on reactionary equivalent of say the Heights, but none of that applies to AHC. [/quote]
