[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]… there are other independent (not tied to either parish or diocese) Catholic schools in the area, but they go beyond K-8, for example Brookewood and Avalon are K/1 through 12[/quote]

Georgetown Prep, Stone Ridge, Gonzaga, Visitation, Holy Child, Holy Cross, Mater Dei, St John’s, the Heights… all are independent Catholic schools [/quote]

Mater Dei is also K-8, HC starts in middle school. The Heights starts in 3rd grade.
Right, but this thread is about K-8… only Stone Ridge in your list includes those grades [/quote][/quote]

Mater Dei is 1-8, no K.

Anyway the question was about something specific - no need to be listing all this unrelated stuff![/quote]

Schools like Mater Dei, Little Flower, and St. Jane de Chantal are the epitome of “white Catholics” only. These are the schools that send kids to Catholic high schools. I can’t imagine what going to high school with these kids would be like for someone from a diverse public school. I’ve literally never seen a more homogenous group of folks in my life - same cars, car stickers, hair color and style. My husband keeps saying they have the same cars because Catholics have a lot of kids. [/quote]

So not true. It’s like you’re writing from the 1950s. I’m a Black Catholic. Funnily enough I actually started going to a Unitarian Universalist church in this area a decade ago. THAT was the literally the whitest, and most politically homogeneous, group I’ve ever seen. It was such a ridiculous experience I left and ended up a very happy Catholic. [/quote]
