[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Academically: St. Anselms, GP, GZ, SJC (unless your in scholars program then it's just as good as GZ or GP), and Dematha.
Sports: Dematha, SJC/GZ, GP, St. Anselms
St. Anselms is way behind the other schools in sports. Even GP is pretty far behind thise three other schools. Dematha is a sports power house. While GZ and SJC are both sports power houses to buy just not as much.[/quote]

Why does The Heights get overlooked? Geography? Reputation for Conservatism? They are great academically and sports-wise. [/quote]

People are seriously creeped out by the Opus Dei.  Full stop.  Look, no one doubts or argues with the excellent education, but the rigidity of the dogma is, in many ways, in direct opposition to an emphasis on strong critical thinking skills. [/quote]

I disagree. I am liberal, my kids thrive at The Heights. You actually have to build strong critical thinking skills to have beliefs that are different than your environment. It's just another form of diversity.[/quote]

How is The Heights at accepting new kids in 9th grade who are not Catholic and are liberal? I am falling in love with their curriculum but wondering how my son would do. He is bright, sensitive, appreciates athletics but not real sporty and has severe executive functioning / organizational challenges. [/quote]
