[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As we await decisions today or tomorrow, a quick question.  I understand that parish elementary schools play a big role in deciding which of their students is
admitted to each of the Catholic high schools.  Is this always true with respect to SJC?  Does SJC rely completely on the preferences of the elementary school 
Principals in making its admissions decisions?[/quote]

Do you mean middle school? Elementary school has no weight. [/quote]

the Parish schools are K-8, so middle schools included.  I don't know the answer to the PP's question though.[/quote]

My child is at a K-8 parish school and I refer to is as an elementary school. I know some admissions offices call our school and ask about students, particularly those on the cusp. I understand they really look at the teacher recs too because frankly these kids are all similar (except the star athlete or the legacy who get a little boost).  The advice I give is don’t be an a$$ to the faculty and staff at your child’s school. It seems obvious and yet....As to “it” schools, the “it” factor ebbs and flows with each class. Some years they all want to go to SJC and some years the kids want to go to single sex. The options in this area are great and families have the resources to help their kids. I hope you received good news![/quote]
