What I noticed at MON was about 1/3 of the kids are attending public for HS. Interestingly it seems like the percentage is even higher when you include top students. Anyone else see this trend at their school?

Look at the data. Just skimmed the most recent Parish News. Wow. All the parish school kids end up at the same places: SR, Visi, Holy Child, Holy Cross, St. John's, public, Prep, Gonzaga. A few random outliers include St. Anslems, Heights. It is almost unheard of (but does happen every few years) that one will venture off the path to a top non-religious private ala Holton, STA, etc. But that seems to be happening less and less. The lack of diversity with where parish grads go is amazing, but probably doesn't matter at all as most families don't desire to move off of the Catholic track.

The alexandria k-8s, please.

I have a copy. Any particular school you are looking for?

St Anselms has stellar results!

Just remember that there are also many kids who get in to schools but do not attend due to finances. Enrollment does not always reflect the whole situation.

PP, If you are asking about the Arlington Catholic Herald, the graduation issue usually come out in early June, at the end of the school year.

Yes, The Arlington Catholic Herald. Graduation announcements are typically published in the hard copy only.

16:50 Thanks SO much for posting the pdf! This is information is really important to me as a parent of 2 ADW Catholic elementary school students.

Have never seen a Virginia version. School newsletters (which are often available on the school websites) usually print a list of where the grads will be attending HS.

Tks.. I've a 7th grader and a 10th grader so it's interesting to see. Is the hard copy out as yet. I was at church on Sunday and didn't see one.

Has the parish news that normally list the placement results been published?

Thanks!
