[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seeking first-hand experience regarding any or all the following:

a) academic rigor/preparedness for college and beyond (do they push their students/what kinds of careers do graduating students gravitate to), 
b)school culture (traditions, including religious, parent community involvement/opportunities to interact/meet/volunteer). 
c)For those of you who sent their sons from lower school- are parents active about setting up out-of school opportunities for mixing with girls (more in middle school and high school years) or is everyone pretty much on their own for that? 
d) How has your son grown/developed/ benefitted (or not) compared to traditional parochial school K-8 model...
e) is it worth the cost in the lower school or are they just running outside all day? Is it better to save for middle school instead?

I feel sorry for you. This is decidedly NOT the place to get what you are looking for.

What you can expect is a lot of railing at the school's connection to Opus Dei from people who know only that. And even then, aren't exactly sure what that means to the school.

And there will be others who are horrified that the school doesn't have a school nurse on staff.

Talk to someone who you know and trust and who has a reason to know something about the school. Include the parents of kids at other local Catholic schools, so you can get a balanced view.

Stay clear of this menagerie of poorlyi-nformed and ideologically-driven posters.[/quote]

Well perhaps it depends on your ideology.  One can summarize by saying it's pretty much Trumpland.[/quote]

Really?  I think that the school is known for its strict Catholicism, and last time I checked, President Trump is not Catholic.  The only common ground between the Heights and Trump is that narrow minded lefties love to hate them both.  [/quote]
