[quote=Anonymous]And please stop saying “elite”. It makes you sound like a striver. Plenty of kids do parochial k-8 and then go on to all of the competitive high schools you are alluding to. Many parents at parochial schools simply want Catholic high schools but there are those that apply out to the Big 3 or Big 5 schools. Also, things are not always perfect socially no matter where you go. The advantage of private school is they don’t have to accept certain kids and if they make a mistake and accept someone they shouldn’t have, they can always counsel them out. Generally most private schools aim to create a supportive and collegial environment but kids will be kids. K-8 in my opinion tend to make the middle school experience a little more gentle which is nice but again, nothing is perfect. [/quote]
