[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trust me, no Catholic parent is selecting these schools based upon scores - we never even thought about it. Catholics don’t view our schools like many view the independent schools (ie, college admission stats and or standardized test scores). We go for other reasons and for the most part, many of the parents at Visi or Gonzaga are wealthy/very connected or highly educated. They can go to most any college/university and still get a great job because of the network. They don’t see college like you - a gateway into a different higher class. For example, we are in Chevy Chase. The goal for most of our girls has always been Visi, going generations back.  We are not at all interested in the independent schools even if they sent their entire graduating class to Harvard. I know that statement seems extreme but there isn’t really a way to emphasize just how much our families laser focus on the schools at the top of the list and there are many tears and lots of hand wringing if our kid doesn’t get in.

+100 We only looked at Catholic schools for our DD, even though I’m confident she could’ve gotten into any of the T3 schools. (99% HSPT, all A’s in MS, high performer in her club sport, member of an outside orchestra, fluent in several languages because we’ve lived overseas.) We (and she) were only interested in a Catholic foundation in a school that is not hell-bent on wokism. We want her to have a well-rounded education without wasting time on DEI nonsense. Whether the school she’s attending has a high SAT average doesn’t matter to us, what matters is her own score. She’ll take honors and AP courses, and if needed, a SAT prep. [/quote]

I hope this is satire.  If you were a true Christian, a true believe in the message of Jesus, you would never use the term "wokism".  Instead, you are arrogant and insufferable.  Blessed are the meek, lady.[/quote]
