[quote=Anonymous]My high achieving academic son is having a great year at DeMatha, and there are plenty of high achieving kids there. He's in 1 AP as a 9th grader this year, but had the option to take 2. He'll take 3 next year (AP Computer Science Principles, AP Government, AP Calc AB) as a 10th grader. He wanted to take more, but I wouldn't let him because he's a 14 year old kid.

The music program is excellent, but he doesn't do that. 
The alumni network is excellent, and many of the teachers there are former students. I'd say over 50% if not more.

My son isn't Black and we aren't Catholic, but we particularly appreciate the diversity and the social justice mission of the school.

Because so many of the teachers have been there for a long time - they just get teenage boys. They are strict but understanding. My son loves the social vibe, and he has made a lot of kids. There's a lot of school spirit, and the sports are a lot of fun!

My only issue with the school is that you have to get a 93 or 94% to get an A in a class and between that and a 90 is an A-, so there is some GPA depression because of that. And honors-level courses only count for 0.5 extra points for weighted GPA.
