DC is doing well in mostly AP and honors classes. I'll let you know in a few years.

You can look at the 2022 insta for acceptances. It will say if a kid is a recruited athlete. I don't know if you can see dates or not, but, obviously if they are earlier posts they are likely ED admits.

I'm on my 3rd kid at SJC. My own observation is that parents care less about school selectivity than they do at a Sidwell or St. Albans. Most parents are not Ivy grads themselves and did not send their kids to SJC to get into the T10. SJC is also pretty diverse and a lot of black kids there are interested in HBCUs, which DCUM doesn't care about.

??? Where the heck would you get that information? College acceptances are not broken out into Scholars vs Others! By the way, it is tough to get into Clemson!

Here is the general list https://www.stjohnschs.org/admissions/beyond-st-johns

Who are often, not only

The top kids, who are, only the kids and scholars, go to great schools. So do some other kids who have worked very hard and those who demonstrate great athletics. Kind of like in most other schools, the top kids have great college admissions, as do the great athletes.

The one difference at the Catholic schools is that they, by mission and design, except a wide range of students, including a fair number with learning differences. I’m not sure why anyone who has been on these boards for any period of time does not recognize this.

St Johns doesn’t have many different learning styles what it hais Catholic parents that want that type of schooling .

College admits from St Johns are way below public

Great your kid got an education in Catholicism more than a secular great education

If that’s what you want for your kid more power to you.

Yes, isn’t it great parents have these choices? You can send your kids to a school you like even if other parents make a different choice

And wouldn’t it be great if every private school had a program like SJC’s Benilde, for students with learning differences? It’s really popular. Does your child’s school have a structured program for students with LDs?

The Benilde program is similar to scholars in that the student takes regular classes along with the rest of the student population. It is not a specially developed program with specific classes or teachers for what it's worth. A friend just went through the application process and decided the GC Ryken program was much stronger. Honestly, SJC's Scholars and Benilde programs feel like label slapping to me.

Yes, Benilde and Ryken operate on different models, mostly depending the level of supports a student needs. Students in Ryken take program-specific classes; students in Benilde take standard classes and the program staff work with them every day to provide specific and regular supports to help each individual succeed. Isn’t it great these two schools offer choices for students who learn differently? Does your school have any such program?

And lots of things are way below at public. What’s your point?

What did SJC do someone's precious snowflake? Lot of hate for no reason.

You have low standards. Neither is ranked very high. You must be a southerner.

you are out of touch with the reality of today's college landscape.

Your deference and devotion to rankings is misplaced.

It must be miserable to be that caught up on rankings.

They won’t all be successful at it and have to test into it, moron.

Spoken like a true Scholars Mother. Success is never guaranteed, Mother.
