[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What private middle schools do people go to before Good Counsel? We did a couple camps there and loved the facility and the coaches and now my kids want to go there. We love our public elementary but the middle school we are zoned for has a lot of problems so have been starting to think about options for middle and high school.[/quote]

I’d look for k-8 Catholic schools near you. We transferred from public to a k-8 catholic for 7-8th grade and both our kids got into multiple Catholic high schools. The k-8 Catholics do a good job of prepping the kids to get into Catholic high schools. Plus, the k-8s are generally a positive nurturing environment with small class sizes where the kids have individual relationships with the teachers and administrators.[/quote]

I disagree. Seems like a waste of money to spend about $50k or so on Catholic middle school just to get into GC, which is a good but not necessarily highly selective school. I know two of our neighborhood public middle school kids got in. The HSPT weighs heavily on admissions chances but you can just take a prep course for that.[/quote]

The poster said there are problems at their zoned middle school. Catholic middle school is not $25k a year.[/quote]
