[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] OP has triggered that anti SJC poster. So predictable.

To answer OP's original question though -- ADW wasn't established until 1939. By then many of the independent Catholic schools had been around for 100+ years. The history is actually quite fascinating.

There is a ton of choice at all price points in our area which isn't the case in the rest of the country.

Fwiw I hope you don’t think I’m anti-SJC just because I’m sharing facts about how student athletes are imported and housed by other SJC families…and all the full pay families collectively subsidize such things.

How would I know this if I didn’t have kids affiliated with the school?

Not a hater. Just a catholic mom who finds some of the choices made by SJC, GC, and other catholic schools interesting. Prioritizing athletes and non-Catholics for the limited seats in area catholic high schools is an interesting decision imho. YMMV[/quote]

“Primarily non-Catholic in terms of demographics” is not correct.

It’s heading in that direction and soon will be majority non-catholic. GC will be majority non-catholic first, but SJC isn’t far behind. [/quote]

So your original statement is wrong.

And the rest is your opinion.

I mean, this is what I heard at tours and BTSN from religion teachers and admissions staff when non-catholic parents asked specifically about demographics. Shrug. [/quote]
