Private Catholic high schools - which do not get funding from the archdiocese as they are not run by the archdiocese but by specific orders like the Jesuits or the School Sisters of Notre Dame - have always had a much broader socio-economic intake of students. Even in DC, Georgetown Prep, the "ritziest" of the private Catholic schools, has greater socioeconomic diversity compared to Landon or St. Albans.

As it is, both Catholic schools and Episcopalian schools are Christian schools. None of them would deny it, not even St. Albans.

Not quite. Catholic schools at elementary, middle, and high school can be independent, parish, or diocesan. Elementary and middle schools are most often the most affordably priced and are supported by the local parish and the diocese. There are independent Catholic elementary and middle schools, such as  such as the Woods Academy, Stone Ridge, Mater Dei, and the Heights. The Catholic high schools in the Archdiocese of Washington (DC and a good chunk of Maryland) tend to be independent and supported and operated by a religious order, but there are two archdiocesan schools that are supported by the ADW. The Diocese of Arlington has a mix of both diocesan and independent. The big ones (BI, DJO, and PVI) are all operated by the archdiocese. In other states, there are  high schools that are parish schools. [/quote]
