[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have a child at SJC, but I have friends whose children attend.  I can definitely see the appeal for many students and families. It is in a great location, Chevy Chase DC, close to many parts of DC and Maryland. It's coed and there are not a ton of private coed options in our area. Good athletics and arts programs. Is appropriate for a wide range of students from their Scholars program for their top students to their Benilde program for students with learning differences. Most high school like an all-American high school - a spot for everyone.  Its lower tuition is more affordable for all families than the top independents that are about to cross the $50K per year mark (crazy). It has a popular brand name alumni donor, Kevin Plank, who along with several other big alumni donors are contributing millions of dollars to the betterment of the school. The school has definitely jumped up in popularity and many kids want to attend, as seen by their 3,000 person open house (2017 and 2018) and 1,500 applications received last year.  It's great to have lots of options for high school in our area, so I say good for them.[/quote]

SJC admissions staff working overtime.  Seriously, great athletic facilities, but academics and students barely better than DC publics.[/quote]

Actually no, I am not an admissions person.  Jeez, you know someone can be nice and say positive things about a school with being involved with that school. Just honest commentary from someone who lives in the neighborhood and knows lots of kids who attend.[/quote]
