[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are Pride and local Heros girls going?  That seems to comprise the top local talent in DMV?[/quote]

There is also at least one local top player on M&D, who I would guess will be attending public.  I think the Hero's girls are mostly headed to private.  Pride is a mix of public and private, with probably more than 50% headed to private.  Don't forget about Stars, which has at least a few of the top local players who I think are staying public.  Not sure whether any of these girls will be attending Visi.[/quote]

Top Stars girls always seem to end up at SSSA[/quote]

If the top stars girls are going to make Capital, there is no reason for their parents to pay for a private HS education. The VA public schools are a better option than the MD public schools so there isn’t as much of a need to seek out a private school. The recruiting will be done through club, so that removes that factor from the equation as well. Look at the 24s and 25s. Several VA public school girls have found homes at D1 programs, including top 25 programs. [/quote]

Reason? What if the player or parent wants a more challenging academic environment? An all-girls experience? Smaller class size? Religious foundation? Enforcement of dress and other codes of conduct that instill discipline and promote school community? A higher level of competitive league lacrosse? Coaches free to lead team prayer and ask God to keep his / her players safe without fear of starting a lawsuit? Robust tutoring, support resources, and athletic facilities?  Participation in school traditions, some dating back hundreds of years? Being part of strong alumni networks that rival some universities? Staying connected to their schools years after they graduate through fundraising and other events year after year?

There are economic and other advantages to attending a public HS, yes. But even for those on a Capital lax path, for those who can afford it and want a different experience, there are many reasons why they would want to choose a private school.
