[quote=Anonymous]Interesting topic.   Here is what I know from friends and family in catholics (parish & private) and private schools.   I have empathy with the challenge to ground in (Catholic) values and get a strong education.

Here is the sense I have on two:

Blessed Sacrament.   Strengths:  very strong community.   Large parish.  Very popular school.    New resources to build a field.   Academics traditionally not seen as a high strength.   Facilities a bit dated.   new head of school, which probably is good.    Loses boys - they say its to mater dei, but mater dei is very small and extremely competitive to get in - near impossible unless legacy / siblings

Little Flower:  Blue Ribbon school this year.    smaller than Blessed Sacrament.   very tight community.   Facilities decent.   traditional kids seem to do well there.   out of the box, or very bright, are known as not so much - in some grades?  Monsignor very very good.   Local public is seen as extremely good so it pulls parishoners there.   [/quote]
