Could be. Depends on who you are.

I have a problem understanding how these two wildly different schools end up competing for any students whatsoever.

I can see St. Albans or Potomac School or St Stephens/St Agnes as alternatives to Landon. Gonzaga or St Anselms or The Heights are competition to Prep.

Catholic families that make this choice should be aware that to many this will appear to be a thumb in the eye of the larger "community". And the fallout goes on forever. It takes a very "tone deaf" family to not get this.[/quote]

Sincere question here.  What is meant by " . . . a thumb in the eye" of the larger community?"  Does this mean that the Catholic community would be offended by a Catholic child attending Landon, instead of attending a Catholic school? Does it mean that Catholic children may never be fully accepted at Landon?  Or does it mean something else altogether?
