[quote=Anonymous]This is very helpful. Would you mind sharing if your family is Catholic? Trying to get a sense of how difficult it would be for a non-catholic student coming from public school to adjust/adapt to the community. Thanks!

[quote=Anonymous]9th grade at O'Connell:

1) small class sizes
2) sense of community
3) great communication with parents, the weekly newsletter is incredibly helpful
4) amazing school spirit
5) academic expectations compared to public middle school (daily quizzes in many subjects, hard grading expectations on writing, at least 1hr of homework per night)
6) away for the day with Yondr pouches is working well.

Don't like:

1) coming from public school kids are friendly but DC is finding it hard to break into pre-existing friend groups. (this will improve but it's tough with homecoming coming up that plans are being made by groups of kids from various parish K-8s so the truly new kids are struggling to find a place)
2) lunch prices are ridiculously expensive[/quote][/quote]
