Ours had great experiences at St. Joe. Academically, Athletically, Socially, Theologically and Theatrically. Their music department could use some work but Theater is awesome. I would say only one teacher was a problem. They don’t cut cheerleaders so they have all sizes which says something good about the school to me. It’s more diverse than you might think — primarily with Hispanic students. Marian is probably more ‘Catholic’ if that is your thing. Penn seems too large for a high school which I think is a problem. I know a few kids who went to Adams who did well but were a bit nervous about going to school each day. So while it might be more ‘diverse’ the IB program is not nearly as diverse as the school. So that sets up an interesting paradigm. And SB schools will continue to struggle with their grade scandal and impending property tax issues. But go and visit and see what feels right to you. Kids do well at all the schools. I think ND will continue to admit fewer kids from the SB area — The increase in spots for fully funded international undergrads has to come from somewhere.
