We live in North Arlington, and all of the Gonzaga kids We know (6+… Play sports with our kids ) are families who belong to Washington golf.

If Westwood is considered a “country club” then we know 1 country club family at Gonzaga.

35% of Gonzaga students receive financial aid.
Of all of my 3 boys’ friends, I don’t know of a single country club family (and I doubt any of the receive financial aid).

No


I know 5 Gonzaga families in my Alexandria neighborhood well and none of them are country club members.

Gonzaga has 1000 boys. The zip code from which the most boys come is 22207 (Washington Golf). There's definitely a group of families that belong to that club and other clubs. But it's absolutely not the prevailing vibe of Gonzaga. We've been there 5 years and I know that it's too big and diverse (and yes, I know this board gets on Gonzaga for not being diverse enough) to say it's anywhere close to mostly country club kids.


Is it?? If so, that's traditionally a big change. When my 50-something brother was in HS it was primarily DC & MD families (back in the 80s). I do see a ton of GZ stickers in Arlington & Alexandria. In the early 2000s there were a lot of young families moving out of DC to close-in VA so makes sense. Plus, the commute is quicker from some VA zips than actual DC zip codes.

There are a few country clubs, like Columbia, that have a lot of Gonzaga alums/families.

But this is not the majority of Gonzaga families. There’s a large contingent of Virginia families at the school that are not CC members.

But, if you are in NW DC or Bethesda, I can see why you might think that everyone belongs to Columbia, Bethesda or Congressional.

More than SJC, but less than GP.
