[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH is Catholic and made it clear he didn't DD attending Catholic elementary because of the first Communion prep (we are not raising her Catholic). He can't or won't give me a straight answer about upper grades. I'm guessing middle school is more of the same because of confirmation, but Catholic high school should be more college prep and less sacramental prep, right?[/quote]

How many threads do we have on this

IT’s Catholic school they teach the catholic religion they should it’s called catholic school 
And while I would never ever send a kid to catholic school given the priest in my town was  mr molester and then again next guy no

And as for college omg op seriously yes kids go to college are acceptances as good as public no. Science well that’s a conundrum isn’t it . Math never as good as public .

At least at Catholic schools they teach things like punctuation to make your writing more readable.

As for college acceptances - I'm not sure what you are comparing.  Most Catholic schools have close to 100% college attendance.  Not true of any public school I know.  (Which isn't a knock on public schools!  They are there to serve kids going directly to careers too, and that's wonderful and needed.)

What is your conundrum for science?  My kid's Catholic school offers AP Physics, AP Chem, AP Bio, AP Environmental, and AP Comp Sci.  Kids seem to do well on them.

The math curriculum is sort of a step behind the most accelerated path at public school - at our school kids do precalc, then AP Calc AB, then AP Calc BC.  Seems like the top track kids in public school go right from precalc to AP Calc BC.  So if you have a kid destined for multi-variable calculus III, then it may be a question to ask before you enroll in Catholic school[/quote]

My Catholic high schooler took AP Cal BC and Multivar., AP Comp Sci, AP Physics C (both), AP Bio, etc. [/quote]
