[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it a big jump for students to go to a catholic high school when they’ve been in public for k-8? Trying to determine how much of an adjustment it might be for my DD. [/quote] If they come from a strong public, they should be fine. It is not that Catholic school is necessarily harder curriculum wise (public schools often have more advanced math and science classes), there is just more homework, more quizzes and tests, therefore, more studying, so you are required to develop a certain level of discipline and efficient/productive study skills to get all of the work done. But a kid with a good work ethic from any middle school or K-8 should be able to adjust and do well.[/quote]
