We have current experiences in both Catholic and public schools and have found the parish school to be more rigorous in some subject areas and equally rigorous in others.

Just look how non-Catholics have over-run Georgetown University because it's a top choice.

Catholic schools, by and large, are much better at teaching kids how to write. At my workplace, I find that kids who are schooled in Catholic schools are much better writers than those in public schools. You can spot it immediately...sometimes I will read something and be able to tell immediately that the kid went to Catholic school.

The vast majority of American youth would be far better educated in Catholic schools. Of course Catholic schools can kick out kids who simply cannot be or simply refuse discipline. Of course , some genius children would still need Blair or TJ models but I'm sure the Jesuits could easily figure out how to accommodate them.
