[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are strongly considering putting our third kid in Catholic school for kindergarten next year. Two oldest are in MCPS and overall it has been okay, except that we regret not sending the oldest one to private HS (The public HS is huge, overcrowded and counselors basically have barely anytime for any middle of the road kid.). Our public ES and MS although “good schools” are also overcrowded. We want a closer knit school community that a Catholic school could give our family due to a smaller size, and even though we don’t practice much Catholicism (I am Catholic, spouse isn’t) we wouldn’t mind child having that Catholic/God “connection” via the school. I guess we see more the value of that now than we did a few years ago.. However, I’m having major guilt about doing this differently this time around. I feel that I will miss the public school community and experience (school bus, classmates being neighbors etc) that our first two kiddos have had and feel bad that I will “rob” our third kiddo of the public school experience. Would love to hear others perspectives! We think child would likely thrive in any environment as a context.. [/quote]

Check out The Heights and Oakcrest.  They're known to be the "best' of the Catholics.  [/quote]

What makes you say that?[/quote]
