[quote=Anonymous]Catholic high schools always have and will continue to favor graduates of Catholic grammar schools for some very good reasons.

First, because the Catholic high school has a long-standing symbiotic relationship with the grammar schools, the can trust what they are told formally and informally about each candidate.

Second, the high schools know that Catholic grammar school kids and parents know much better what to expect at the Catholic high school. So they end up being happier campers and that benefits everyone. And they are much more likely to be practicing Catholics.j

Third, the Catholic grammar school parents have shown a continuing commitment to Catholic education and the high schools think that ought to be rewarded. These kids are more likely to become part of the alumni community that supports and nourishes the school after graduation.

So all other things being about equal, your DC’s have a significant advantage in the Admissions process.

The high schools aren’t unaware of the reasons for any surge in applications from public schoolers. They also know the short and long term benefits of sticking with the side of the bread they know is buttered.[/quote]
