Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYes, this is correct. Our high school kid goes to Jesuit, plays soccer, and is on a needs-based scholarship. There are no academic or athletic scholarships offered by Jesuit, only needs-based, and I will tell you that contrary to what you want to believe, there are many students at Jesuit that are on needs-based scholarships. You may think that everyone at Jesuit is rich, but that simply is not true. First and foremost, any prospective student at Jesuit has to prove academic success, show strength of character, and moral leanings. There are many kind kids at Jesuit and there are many mean ones, just like every school out there. What we love about Jesuit is the faculty - the leadership and example they provide to the students and the love and concern they give to the students. They are a dedicated faculty.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThiank you. I'm sure this is true. Jesuit is a top notch education & sports destination so many athletes choose to go there. We would definitely consider it but we aren't Catholic so I'm worried they wouldn't take our daughter or that she'd be left out.

I don't know how any of it works but I wonder if schools like Jesuit give financial assistance to kids that aren't academic achievers or athletically talented?
Are they allowed to recruit?

And, NO, Jesuit does not recruit.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYes, Jesuit gives financial assistance to kids that are NOT athletically talented, however they do have some high standards for academic achievement. All the kids at my kids' middle school that got accepted to Jesuit had above average academic grades, more than 1/2 were not athletes at all, but the kids accepted definitely showed a strong academic background. Also, Jesuit wants a diverse student body, so they really want kids from the east side, not just the west side, so some east side kids may have a bit of an edge on admittance.
And, NO, Jesuit does not recruit.

Jesuit is a great school and they give scholarships. Yes they are "needs" based but don't be foolish to believe that athletes don't receive scholarships or aren't given preference. This just isn't real world. Of course these athletes have to fit a general academic profile but to say that private schools don't give athletes preferential treatment to build their programs is folly.
It's a competitive edge they have vs. public schools and that's ok - just don't be ignorant.
(notice I did not say recruiting - athletes have to let it be known they want to attend and then the doors are opened to those that qualify. Again, nothing wrong with it - just don't say it doesn't happen - we know better)

Why all of the discussion about Jesuit when they are only on a par with a number of the public schools academically? And from a private school perspective, they are behind Catlin and OES and CC is even with them.

I guess the lie of recruitment and scholarships being rewarded to athletes will have to be perpetuated in the Metro League in order to justify why everyone loses to Jesuit - if that makes you feel better, believe the untruths.
