[quote=Anonymous]My 2cents - FWIW
St. Johns has ROTC option which is popular
GC stronger athletic program, not putting SJC down, but GC's is more successful ATM
SJC has a good music program, many kids are in the various bands, orchestra, etc. You hear less about the music program at GC.
Fairly similar in size
Location - SJC is in NW DC while GC is in Olney (which is a hike for a lot of folks)
GC has some bus service, not sure of SJC
Both are coed
Both have programs for kids who may need some extra academic support. Ryken at GC and Benhilde program at SJC
Both are good options for good, solid, middle of the road kids. 
Both have a lot of activities, clubs, etc. and both are large enough and diverse enough that it seems everyone is able to find a niche.
GC has a new campus - it is very nice, SJC is older campus but still nice
Most parish schools consider both SJC and GC to be "safety" schools but that is not being negative - it is because they are quite large and have more open slots than anyone else at the very popular 9th grade entry year.[/quote]
