[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]St Anselm's isnt even in the same league as St Albans. [/quote]

In what sense?  [/quote]

One is the epitome of the WASP DC elite, the other a Catholic, mediocre private. Not the same. [/quote]

For what it's worth, St. Anselm's has the confidence to release the actual SAT score of its average student: 1395. St Albans does not, but Niche's upwardly-biased score for them is 1420. So St. Anselm's may actually be outscoring them. [/quote]

Niche’s “upwardly biased” average SAT for St Anselm’s is only 1380 [/quote]

My kid's year it was 1440. There are only 30-40 kids in a class, so those averages can vary quite a bit year over year. You can see each class's average on the counselor's college report.

I don't get why anyone feels the need to quibble about this little school, tucked away in NE DC where 40% of students receive financial aid. If you think your son can handle a 10-period academic day, with three years of required Latin, 4 years of required modern language, three years of required fine arts, four years of college level theology, and a minimum of 7 AP courses in history, math, English, and science, and 150 service hours completed in the local community during the school day, then you might visit SAAS. If you prefer STA, go there. It's also a great school. [/quote]
