Privates aren’t kicking kids out as quickly as you imply. So many litigious parents in the DMV it takes a while to counsel out students, especially if they are full pay

My son shadowed at Prep and GC. Hated the bro culture at Prep and went to GC. He's headed unhooked to an Ivy. No regrets.

This is completely untrue. Opposing WCAC fans often talk about how welcoming GC's home environment is. Stop making stuff up.

Wheaton alum here. We looked at GC for our daughter but I agree that's its basically become a public school with uniforms and a chapel.

I understand that everyone has their own perspective, Good Counsel has been an outstanding choice for us. The combination of modern facilities, a rigorous IB program, and a focus on college readiness has been truly transformative for my son. His college prospects are stronger than ever, and we're thrilled with the opportunities this school has provided.

Same with my son, he toured at prep and did not like it . Lots of racists jokes, we withdrew our application.

? Gonzaga defecates in the stands when they lose, they also destroyed the stand at Catholic. I'm not sure you have seen other schools sportsmanship.
