[quote=Anonymous]New poster with HS freshman DS.  Came from public middle school.  Price of admission to his Jesuit high school is worth each and every penny because:

* Academics are more rigorous.  Teachers set the bar much higher than in our MoCo W school.

* Writing is emphasized in each class, not just English.  He is expected to write well in History, Biology, Religion, as well as English.

* Class sizes are much more manageable ranging from 19-26.  I hear MoCo is up to 39 (more?) in high school).

* Single sex environment is something both DS and we wanted.

* Dress code is respectful.  My boy now has style and he seems to like his new preppy look.

* Teachers, teachers, teachers.  DS is always talking about his teachers, most of which he really enjoys.  The impression I got from back to school night was that of a very high level of passion.  A couple of teachers were new to the school and they are recruited from all over the country...someone even came from overseas to teach at our school.  You just do not see that kind of recruitment from a public school.

* Cliques almost non existent.  Yes the boys hang out with certain groups...but there does not seem to be the same level of cliques you find in our W school.  The boys are encouraged to support each other.

I could list a lot more, but I think there is enough here to demonstrate the value of this private education vs public.
