Sure, whatever you say. Still it doesn't hold a candle to other highly acclaimed Catholic high schools in the DC area. Nice try though.

Men for others, Pope Francis is talking to you.

Class is about 330.

Their yield last year was higher than expected so they are beginning to adjust admits. Plenty of kids on our neighborhood list serve were rejected. Bit of scrambling going on.

Wow 330?!! I seem to remember when we applied a couple of years ago, the class was around 250. What does this mean for class sizes, etc? Doesn't sound good that the class size is growing so quickly. Glad we decided against SJC.

They are a growing school... Thanks AOL... Kimsey.

I have a freshman at SJC, and while I worried about this when I heard how big the class was, I have been pleasantly surprised. Most classes are under 20, and none are over 25 or so. The smallest is 14. We have not seen any negative effects of a large freshman class.

scholarship. If you are 6'4", 300 pound black male, you are precisely the type of student SJC wants because they are doing everything they can to be the next IMG Academy. We will not be sending our child to a school which obviously cares more about athletics than academics. Can hardly wait to see what happens when Kevin Plank decides he is done giving to the school.

So bitter. It's just a school. The hate is not good for you. Move on.

Varies. My kids typically have 15-20 in core classes (math, science, English). The big classes are typically the religion classes which can be 25.

I know two kids from catholic school that were rejected. So, yes, there are kids being rejected and waitlisted.

thank you 14:50 very helpful

Yield is an admissions term for the number of students who accept offers of enrollment. Let's say you want to fill 50 spots...you might offer admission to 75 students, with the knowledge that only 50 of them will actually enroll. All schools rely on historical data (different schools have different yield percentages, but they stay consistent over time) to predict the number of students who will ultimately enroll.
