The confidence and sense of individuality the teachers nurtured in my sons has stayed with them even as they've moved on to public school and college. And being African American, my sons benefited greatly from the substantial exposure to kids from different counties and cultures (World Bank, IMF and Embassy children are typically highly represented there), something they probably would have missed out on if they went to a more traditional school. I have to say, the school truly provides a unique academic experience. Anyone looking for more than a transactional experience for their children should check out OFS.

Review is for basketball gym only…read more Georgetown Day was host to the DCSAA basketball quarterfinals because the St. John's College High School Gym is under construction. This presented a neutral site between SJC and Georgetown Visitation. The hospitality was fantastic! The gym was huge and the warm up music was on point to get the girls fired up. In fact, this place gets five stars for the mere fact they provide plentiful, underground parking for patrons.

Word to the wise: google maps will lead you to the side opposite of the parking lot entrance, so turn right then left on the next street to get to the soccer fields. overall, fields are pretty solid condition (separate fields for football and soccer), with bleachers on the side. Doesn't have as much problem with beads piled up (like Wash Lee) or holes in the field (RFK aux field). Ample parking, trash cans...no bathrooms though from what I could find.

Wasn't too long after graduation that I realized that St. John's more than prepared me for the next level. The curriculum is challenging. You aren't allowed to float by and you are getting the tools needed to thrive beyond college. Critical thinking and reasoning were skills imparted to you. Athletics could have been stronger, but it's picking up a lot of steam. It helps that the CEO of Under Armour, Kevin Plank, is a SJC alum. This school will continue to grow and will undoubtedly be an elite institution for years to come.

A number of the teachers have been at St. Ann's for a long time, and they are complemented by newer teachers who bringing new energy and enthusiasm to the school. The teachers and principal care for the students. For example, the principal will run to Subway to pick up a sandwich for a student who forgot his or her lunch. There is a strong sense of community and a high level of parental involvement. I encourage you to look into the school and talk to parents with current, first-hand knowledge of the school.

The location is also great since I can jump on the Metro after dropping them off and everything I need for food, grocery and shopping are within 5 minutes of the school. I highly recommend the school!

I have no doubt that my child is ready for college based on their experience at Burke. It's a warm and welcoming community with academic rigor, but kids are not as stressed out as some other schools. Kids are taught to be independent thinkers and to self advocate. It's an urban school so wonderful opportunities to explore the city. Sports facilities are lacking, but an easy compromise to make for the location. Sports teams are no cut which means kids can play sports every season if they choose.

I went to this school at the end of the Seventies and graduated in 1980. I made many friends. I…read morewould say it was better than other schools nearby at the time I went there for academics but also because of the unique landscape and architecture that was destroyed in a teardown and rebuild project which came ten years after I graduated. We had a domed arena that was in the style of Finnish architect Ero Saarinen and was great to play sports in. The principal was pretty good: Dr. Jerome Marco-he served a long time and had the current Football field named after him. He didn't like underage drinking so he got rid of the Rugby team which was a club sport-not varsity. That team became the Maryland Exiles thanks to Dan Soso who kept it going. I did academics with great teachers like Bari Bergman for English, Speech and Drama but sports was really what I was into at the time. We had arguably the best football team in the history of the school. I played each season. We were not undefeated in the regular season but 9-1 then lost the state AA Championship-our QB got injured in the semifinal. The 2003 team went 10-0 but lost their first playoff game that makes us better in my opinion. Our coach, Rich Cameron was good. He had us in the wishbone offense that just could not be stopped. Our rugby team won tournaments-the coach was John Haberman. I also wrestled. That was more fun than anything. Many of the students have gone on to great careers and spread out across the country nowadays. We had great colors and a great mascot but I do not agree with the gender equity changes made to our mascot. Our Colors were Black, White and Columbia Blue. We were the Vikings and we had a great Viking but nowadays any depiction of our Viking must be accompanied by a Lady Viking. I went to our reunion and saw Lady Viking drawings which we did not have. If you want to have Lady Viking Drawings in 2013 O.K. but we did not have them in 1980 so don't go back and try to re-write history. Cafeteria food was good. We even had a salad bar which I used in wrestling season. We always had a weight room open after school. Other notable teachers were Mr. Cleary-English and Yearbook, Jack Freeman-JV Football and Al Patini-Driver's Education, Mr. Peters and Mr. Debone-gym, Hugh Hammet-Tennis Coach, Ms. Linda Niedbalski and Melanie Sorg-Biology, Mrs. Trebor-Home Economics, Ms. Guiterrez-English, Ms. Cummings-English. Some great teachers have names I forgot-sorry. This was a high school you would want to go to. 4 stars.

It either pushes students to excel or burns them out and causes them to give up. It just depends on each students ability to handle stress.
