[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]O’Connell gives half off for a 99[/quote]

Isn’t O’Connell the Radford of Catholic High schools though? [/quote]

Um, no, it’s the co-ed Catholic high school in Northern Virginia, just like SJC is the co-ed Catholic high school in NW DC. Don’t kid yourself that one is superior just bc you live closer to it or know more people who go there.[/quote]

FWIW, I live in northern VA, and my kid will go to SJC before they go to DJO. DJO offers nothing near the Scholars program that SJC offers, for example. [/quote]

Have fun with that commute. If you really want them to go to an academically better school than O Connell, you’ll choose Visi or Gonzaga. [/quote]

I'm the PP you are responding to. Visi/Gonzaga are our top choice, followed by SJC, FOLLOWED by DJO. DJO is the backup to the backup. [/quote]

I have a strong student/99th percentile son who is considering DJO. He also applied to Gonzaga. But I think he prefers DJO because a lot of his friends are going there. I am certain he can be appropriately challenged and supported. No way would we go to SJC from Nova. That is crazy. [/quote]

+1. Also, I know people that regret the decision to do SJC from Arlington [/quote]

We know a family that tried SJC from Arlington for their Scholars program, and switched after sophomore year bc it was just too far. A promised carpool ended up a mess bc of different after-school activities. They have been happy with academics at O Connell after the switch.[/quote]
