[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on the school but there are mixed views on that. Many people find that the basic writing and math skills taught in Catholic schools give them a stronger foundation than public schools when the kids get to high school. What seems to lack is a broader degree of differentiation that you might get in public schools. [b]Few if any K-8 Catholic kids get to Geometry for example. [/b]Advanced learners who might be in AAP and students at the other end of the spectrum don't necessarily have their needs met. Catholic schools are a good fit for a run-of-the-mill student who also wants a religious component to their education.[/quote] LOL the bolded made me laugh. In my daughter's 8th grade class, almost half were taking geometry in 8th grade. This is a small Catholic parochial in Rockville. Clearly you know little about Catholic education. [/quote]
