[quote=Anonymous]St Anselm's would be my vote. Great academics, small class sizes, caring teachers, nice solid kids who enjoy learning. Not a posh school and not filled with upper middle class/rich people. Definitely more middel class than most privates. College admissions really varies from year to year. Some years are particularly strong (a few years ago they had a Gates Millenium Scholar who is at Stanford) and other years the kids follow the money -- honors programs at state schools, large scholarships, military academies. I think this reflects the lower HHI of many of the families. They value
 education, But cant afford huge debt for college.

FWIW, St Anselm's is also significantly less expensive than the other 2 for smaller class sizes and a more intimate school. There are usually between 30-40 kids per grade.

Sports are important but the end-all. The boys like to stay active, but not being into sports is ok too. Some kids are 3 sport stars and others couldnt care less. All of the kids have PE and Intramurals and plenty of time to run around at lunch.

The neighborhood is a typical Washington working to middle class neighborhood. The campus is safe and lovely and there is a shuttle to and from the subway station. [/quote]
