NP. Care to elaborate? [/quote]

BS is a very old, established Catholic parish in CC/DC. Many of the families have gone there for generations. They are Catholic and want to be with their own. They will send their kids to Catholic high school. You are Jewish. They will be nice to you, but you will never fit in. [/quote]

Maybe it's different because I'm a 2nd gen immigrant, but "not fitting in" doesn't necessarily rule out any schools for me. We did rule out several really rich, cutthroat, competitive privates. But having been in and out of several different public and parochial schools over the years, we have found that we don't really fit in anyway as a mixed race, educationally conservative, politically moderate, wealthy family that doesn't buy name brands. We are never going to be the majority. We ended up choosing Catholic schools because we are Christian (but not Catholic), but the Christian schools were too conservative for us, and because of the low ed and behavior standards at our nearby publics. It is what it is. [/quote]

That’s great for you but OP specifically said they are interested in a “a welcoming community, where our kids and we can make friends.” Q is whether BS is that place.
