[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private Catholic HS. (public K-8)

Class size, terribly woke public MS (and I am a democrat), values/community service/giving back, RIGOR, rigor, more well-rounded core curriculum (really came out excellent writers!) with just as rigorous math/science (organic chem!). Peer group. Families were all invested in their kids being their and the kids were invested in being there too.  Development of the 'whole' individual.  Single sex education. My kids grew in so many ways and went into HS as blah writers and came out where my firstborn was getting rave reviews at a T10 on his first college papers. Very well-prepared. Got into multiple T10/20s unhooked and we didn't do anything extra (no tutors, private counselors, etc) and that wasn't even on our radar in 8th grade (not a reason for choosing private). We wanted a good, solid foundation w/ good values and outlook (giving back to others).  No guns/knifes at school, no drugs/overdoses, no tolerance for bad behavior (our public HS in a wealthy area had a problem w. all of that).[/quote]

Your response is making me feel hopeful! We recently decided to switch to Catholic K-8 after a couple of years in public elementary and I just don’t know if it’s the right move. I’m really hoping for a good curriculum with writing, spelling, grammar, and leveled math, as well as good values and consequences for behavior. Our public is supposed to be excellent and virtually everybody attends, and the Catholic may have slightly larger class sizes and doesn’t draw from our neighborhood at all, so I feel conflicted.
