[quote=Anonymous]I don’t have that specific experience of having a child transitioning out of Catholic school, but have personal and family experience with public, Catholic, and private schools. Generally speaking, Catholic schools are pretty good at teaching writing and work ethic. Math is usually below the level of private and public schools. That’s not to say that they are below grade level, just that they usually don’t offer the level of acceleration that other schools can. My child’s Catholic school uses Saxon math for much of elementary and middle, which is pretty traditional math, and if we want to push forward as we join public or private high school we would have to supplement above grade level outside of school.
