[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After mater dei, who feeds the most into Georgetown Prep?

Also, who feeds most into Gonzaga? St Johns? [/quote]

I went to MD and Prep.  I’m sending my kid to parochial school (and probably Prep but who knows).

There is no one feeder parochial school.  There are many parochial schools that send some but not all boys to Prep.  Go look at the ones near your house and pick one that’s a good fit.  Where you think your kid will fit in and get a rigorous education.

Was there a reason you chose parochial over MD for your own kids? Did you think MD/Prep was a good experience?

Do you have a sense which parochial in this area near Prep are rigorous (I agree with you on that point and it is very important to me)?

Also, does anyone have feedback on staff  and headmaster leaving MD? Similarly, I saw the principal at St Janes is retiring and I heard she was very good at running the school. [/quote]

Mercy is rigorous. The 4th graders read books that are read in the 8th grade curriculum at MD.  [/quote]

Well, this intensive preparation doesn't seem to translate into results in high school. The Mercy grads at Prep are rarely the academic stars of the class. [/quote]

Who are the academic stars at Prep? Is it actually the public school kids? [/quote]

And where do they get into college? Sometimes it seems like the athletes get the elite schools, not you don't hear about the braniacs being at MIT, ivy etc. Is Georgetown University and Notre Dame the goal for them? [/quote]
