I have enjoyed my first year and the school does a great job of meeting the needs of boys. Some popular sports can be difficult to get on the team but there is a large variety of other sports you can have a chance to make the team. The bus routes are helpful but considering how many do sports an evening bus option would be helpful. The teachers are nice and helpful. The music program is top tier. Excited about the new engineering and robotics building.

I have had 2 sons graduate from DeMatha. Each was as different as night and day; the oldest is not as strong academically as the youngest, yet outgoing and sociable. Neither did the Sports thing. As African Americans, we ended up paying the full tuition ourselves, knowing that if they had been athle...

There are 38,000 high schools in America, but there is only One DeMatha. I'm an alumnus as well as a parent of two current students. We're not a sports family. It's great and fun to see your school's name prominently featured in national publications, but it isn't what's been important for our famil...
