[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]

LOL, sure. I don’t know why you are trying to dissuade people from considering Catholic schools, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see your kids hop out of one these cars at a Catholic school. 😂[/quote]
