[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are in Catholic school so here's what I hear on the ones you mention:

Mercy - can also be hard to get into because of lots of alums, very affluent parish, strong high school outplacement, I like their uniforms!  :)

Little Flower - nice campus, great field, strongest clergy presence of all the schools, solid traditional instruction

Our Lady of Lourdes - more diverse than other Bethesda schools, more of a "city feel" to it's campus, one of the few with a 3 yo nursery program

St. Ann's - never hear much about them

St. Raphael's - newest school in area, only goes through grade 2-3 currently, spinoff from St. Elizabeth's

Holy Cross, Holy Redeemer, - don't know them

Our Lady of Victory - smaller than I thought, strong reputation,

Others areound are Holy Trinity (hard to get in and more expensive than others) and Annunciation (very small classes because of low enrollment)[/quote]

Our lady of lourdes is a truly terrible school. The principal is TOTALLY out of her element, she doesn't know the first thing about education or about running a school. Her goal is to hire young, inexperienced teachers and then use them to bring money into the school. It's gross. It is a completely unCatholic environment. They attend mass once a week but there is not a catholic identity and the teachers and most of the families themselves are not practicing catholics. You would do better to send your kids to blessed sacrament where the principal and faculty are experienced and have a long history of providing  a great education. Lourdes just cant give a student the same experience.[/quote]
