[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very very wealthy and very few non Catholics, I went there. I would not recommend it to a middle class kid. [/quote]

Tell me more about this...hypothetically debating between Visi and a NOVA diocesan high school for our daughter.  We are middle class. [/quote]

Wait until your DD visits the school. [/quote]

I agree with this. She should visit and see what she thinks. I do think that it makes a difference if you are middle class government workers vs. middle class mechanic or something more blue collar. Also, do you live in Annandale or Arlington, Bowie or Bethesda? It will make a difference because in the early years when girls can't drive they have to rely on their parents to drive them. Most of the class, at least when I was there, lived in the Bethesda/Chevy Chase/Kensington/Potomac areas and McLean/Great Falls areas. Probably more from Vienna and Arlington now then there used to be just because those areas are getting nicer than they were 30 years ago. So, girls sort of group themselves geographically as that is what works best for hanging out. Maybe things have changed with Uber now, but most parents don't want to drive from Fairfax to Kensington on a regular basis.

If she's amazing at a sport and plays on a team, then it will be easier, but I'd expect her to spend entire weekends at friend's houses if you live far out. [/quote]
