[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you think other private schools are better than Catholic schools?  Don't listen to the anti-Catholic trolls on here - just the word Catholic send them for the salts.[/quote]

OP here: Admittedly I have no basis for this, except that I see neighbors driving to Catholic schools that are in DC (HTS) when there are Catholic schools in Arlington much closer to us. I suppose not all Catholic schools are created equal - as with independent schools. What are considered the “best” Catholic options in this area? [/quote]

OP.  I’m Catholic and attended a parochial school and an independent school.  My kids did the same.  I think you’ll find that the strong independent schools far exceed every aspect of your typical parochial school.  That being said, I think the typical parochial school is better in many ways to most publics.[/quote]

Thank you for this. It’s hard to figure out how schools rank. One neighbor makes the daily drive to
holy trinity in Georgetown even though St Agnes and St Anne are so much closer. I have to assume there is a big difference to be willing to make that drive. My colleague lives very close to bishop o Connell but her son at Gonzaga, so those schools are probably not comparable? And not sure where St Thomas Moore fits in there
