[quote=Anonymous]I attended Catholic schools and am Catholic, but the reasons you outlined are why we attend public. I would personally move in bounds to the public school. My boys love their neighborhood public school. It does not have high test scores because there is a high concentration of poverty, but it does have differentiated learning, particularly accelerated learning and resources with kids with learning needs. DC had struggles in virtual schoo and was provided with after school tutoring. He is now testing 99% in math and language arts on standardized tests.

We also have after school clubs. My kids do art, engineering, science, chess and Spanish clubs. There are sports, art, STEM, dance, music. We also have onsite after care and before care.

My kids can walk to school and to most of their friends' houses or it is a short bus or bike ride. Catholic schools, kids live all over. There is often a social focus rather than academic focus. I love the sense of community from my Catholic school growing up, but people were not focused on academics, more on fun parties and friendships, which is good, but like you, I wondered what enrichments the funds were. My mom taught at a Catholic school. My dad was a lawyer. [/quote]
