[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]St Anselms is more for the neerdy boy not involved in sports. Many Catholics won't even consider it precisely because they allow so many non-Catholics to attend. Those from the CYO-obsessed parishes much prefer Prep/Gonzaga/St Johns. Not sure, however, if St Anselms could stay afloat without the non-Catholic enrollment. So its a catch-22 for them, in order to keep thier numbers up and stay financially secure, they must admit the non-sportsy boys who tend to be more non-Catholic.  [/quote]

Many Catholics won't consider St. Anselm's because it is 40% non-Catholic? I doubt that. It's more academically selective than the schools you listed, and more rigorous. It's not as sports- and country-club oriented, though. And no, I don't have a kid there.

OP, [b]SAAS has a tremendous reputation here independent school administrators. I think it's the most academic Catholic high school here[/b].[/quote]

Without question. No other Catholic school is in its league wrt pure academics (ie, no recruited athlete boost to achieve an ivy admit). That said, it's a long haul from oakton or west falls church or wherever OP lives.
