The schools are far more similar than they are different, and really zero difference from an education perspective.
What is BOC?
Bishop O Connell in Arlington/Mclean
Ah oh. I’ve never seen it referred to as anything other than DJO or O’Connell.

It depends on the courses they take. My DC is in mostly honors classes and has a lot of homework every night, plus constant tests, quizzes, papers and projects. The pace is very fast. Throw in before/afterschool activities and some weeks feel crushing. Other weeks are more balanced.
