Do Regis, Marymount, and CSH actually underperform relative to their reputations when it comes to college placement? Regis in particular surprises me. My assumption would be that if you looked only at students who were admitted in 9th grade for K-12—and excluded K entrants—most of these other schools’ matriculation outcomes would look stronger.[/quote]

I was surprised to so I just did some digging and put it on the instagram thread. they have very big numbers to schools like ND and Georgetown and I wouldn't be surprised if some boys are picking ND over other acceptances they may have from say Cornell or JHU. [/quote]

Going from Catholic HS to Catholic college defeats the purpose of college. Broaden your horizons and get out of the echo chamber.

If I were Catholic and my son got into Regis I would send him in a heartbeat. But then he would not go to Catholic college.[/quote]

Many parents care about community. Attending a schools that represents their values. Raw academic prowess at the expense of character (humility, empathetic, thoughtful, etc..) isn’t as desirable. NYC is especially known to have children grow up too fast and get exposed to drugs (party scene).

I feel like this piece is missing from the conversations on this forum. People seem to only be concerned with college matriculation and not with values or the kind of school that will turn out kids with integrity. This was top of mind for us when looking at high schools. [/quote]

70,000 is a lot to spend on values. I know what you mean about emphasizing values and integrity and it can be a good fit. But can you name a school that lacks integrity? And please don’t say Trevor as a joke [/quote]

NO - I am not from the area, but it is surprising how many girls at TT schools can’t dress well or have feminine qualities. When you see photos of multiple generations, you see a decline in elegance and style. You don’t get a sense attending a TT school will make the child as worldly and cultured as going to school in Europe. [/quote]

No, but it might make the child an engineer or a doctor or something inelegant and unstylish like that. [/quote]
