[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]18 kids from St Elizabeth’s in Rockville are in the incoming freshman class at OLGC. That’s a huge number from a parish that’s equally close to St. John’s and almost walking distance to Prep and Holy Cross. [/quote]

They should not accept this many kids from one school.  They need to diversify the freshman class to avoid cliquishness. [/quote]

St Elizabeth is the largest parish school in the Archdiocese. And while the parish may be equidistant to SJC, many of the students are from north of Montrose Road, such as Gaithersburg, Germantown, and even Olney. Going to SJC just doesn’t make as much sense if you live and work outside of the beltway.

Also, I wouldn’t compare Prep or AHC to GC. Many parents want a co-ed learning environment for their children or don’t want to pay a Prep tuition level.

As far as diversifying the freshman class, 18 out of roughly 300 is not a huge percentage. Based on location, many of the Rockville area Catholic schools are going to feed into an Olney area large co-ed school that can meet the needs of many different interests and learning styles. [/quote]
