[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are Episcopalian and felt out of place at an all girls Catholic where families all seemed to know each other from church or the club or both. Didn’t mind the religion classes (Ethics was actually one of DD’s favorite classes), but don’t underestimate the ways in which Catholicism is part of every day life and interactions at the school.

Agree. [/quote]

FWIW We are Catholic, but not originally from Montgomery County, and experienced something similar at our kids Catholic k-8.  Alot of the families had known each other for generations - there are a lot of very old Irish Catholic families in MoCo.  The parents were perfectly friendly, however, were not particularly interested in becoming friends with "new" parents.  This didn't affect our kids' experience at all though and clearly wasn't based on religion.

This isn't a thing at the bigger Catholic high schools in the area because the famlies come from different middle schools, live in different areas, and there are quite a few different religions/

(And there were Muslim and Jewish students in my all girls Catholic high school (in another state) way back in the 1980s, and it wasn't a big deal at all. )[/quote]
