[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After mater dei, who feeds the most into Georgetown Prep?

Also, who feeds most into Gonzaga? St Johns? [/quote]

I went to MD and Prep.  I’m sending my kid to parochial school (and probably Prep but who knows).

There is no one feeder parochial school.  There are many parochial schools that send some but not all boys to Prep.  Go look at the ones near your house and pick one that’s a good fit.  Where you think your kid will fit in and get a rigorous education.

There is, of course, a good reason for Prep to accept boys from a number of local schools. They want to be seen as an alternative and this keeps them front and center as a high school that boys from that school can apply to and be accepted. It also means they have a continuing, long term relationship with the staff at the K-8 and there are other parents at the parish that parents of prospective applicants can talk to to get their input on their son’s experience.

Overall, it’s just a good idea for Prep to include as many parishes as practicable.

But the suggestion about looking in the archives of Parish Times for May editions is a good one. It will give you an idea of where the schools that list the high school destinations of their graduates are sending them. (Not all schools participate in this. But for many it’s an opportunity to trumpet the achievements of their 8th graders and a subtle ad for the school.)[/quote]
