[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I'd recommend getting a book on HSPT and reviewing before taking the test. Not because it's a difficult test-it's not-but because some of the Catholic schools do some reviewing with their students after school, so you'd want to do the same. Academically, SJC is just fine. They have plenty of AP and honors courses. They do not have any IB courses. For those concerned about math offerings, there are some seniors taking Multivariable Calculus but I believe it is through an agreement with Montgomery College. SJC is a very sports oriented school. One of my kids plays a sport but the others do not. The gender split is 60/40 male to female, so it's a little bit lopsided toward males. I think (hope) the school is looking to strengthen its performing arts. I wish the choir was more inclusive, but numbers are limited. Most of the teachers are excellent. The staff who handle facilities and security are probably ex-military, and they are super professional, helpful and courteous. Other professional staff are very helpful but some are very young, so not always knowledgable. I've had to be gently persistent on a few occasions when trying to get information. Just my .02.[/quote]
