[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re interested in Catholic schools, there’s definitely a lot of family and parent events that make it easy to make friends. Small schools mean you get to know everyone’s parents. We have made several good friends through our kids’ K-8 Catholic school and feel like we have a real community there. [/quote]

+1. I attended Catholic schools from elementary through college and my oldest is at a Catholic high school. In general, I think Catholic schools do a great job of fostering a sense of community. There are a lot of events for parents, opportunities to get involved, etc. Small k-8s generally do an excellent job of this, but I’ve also found it to be the case even at the HS level. I also found a good sense of community at my kids’ small (not Catholic) elementary that had a lot of family events, where kids played on the same rec teams and participated in after school activities, etc. So, those are the kinds of things I would look for, OP. A good sense of community and opportunities to meet other parents generally leads to making friends.[/quote]

+2.  We love our Catholic K-8.  It truly feels like an extended family where everyone looks out for and takes care of one other.  The school and parish hold fun events for parents and kids throughout the year and the families are involved and inclusive.[/quote]
