[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, majority go to Catholic High Schools (Visi, SR, Prep, Gonzaga, SJC, ST. Anselm's) because they value a Catholic education and like the schools.  A smaller percentage opt for other high schools (Sidwell, NCS, STA, Holton, Landon, public, etc).  Not necessarily because they don't like a Catholic education or the schools, but because they like the other options better for various reasons and want to go there.  Just like if a public school kid decides to go to a private school for high school or a STA boys moves to Prep or Field or Landon at some point.  Not a big deal, you move because it is what you think is best for your child.  No one within the Parish schools has a problem that.  That's the fabulous thing about living in our country we have free will and can do what we think is best for our individual child or what works best for the family at any given time.  Just because you pick one path does not mean you are stuck in it forever.  This is the 21st century, after all![/quote]

Noble sentiments. And no one really does care where you send you child for high school. But the reality is that those very few people that choose to go to a non-Catholic private high school are leaving the group. And your use of "smaller percentage" is overstating the number of people who choose to do this. "Tiny" would be a better word.

The interest in and allegiance to Gonzaga, Prep, Visi, SJC can't be overstated. If you don't want to be part of that. Fine.

But if you aren't part of it, you aren't part of it.[/quote]
