[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parochial schools are almost always k-8. There are a number of Catholic high schools in the area though. Some are independent and others are supported by the Archdiocese. The Academy of the Holy Cross in Kensington and Stone Ridge in Bethesda are two other all girls Catholic high schools in the area. Our Lady of Good Counsel in Olney is an another co-ed Catholic high school. Unfortunately I don’t know anything about Elizabeth Seaton. [/quote] OP is apparently using “parochial” incorrectly to mean generically “Catholic,” suggesting the family isn’t Catholic themselves, or they would know the difference. In which case, OP, you have the right idea to apply fairly broadly. Most of the Catholic HS have 10-20% non-Catholic students, but Catholic families typically will have a boost in admissions. [/quote] I am Catholic but sent my kids to public for k-8 and then SJC. I don’t really know or care the difference between Parochial or Catholic, and I would bet 50%+ of all Catholics don’t know or care either. Btw, SJC is probably like 35% non-Catholic.[/quote] You would be more likely to know and appreciate the difference if your kids had gone to a parochial k-8 where the parish subsidized your kids’ education.
