Yes but we nabbed an opening years ago. Now we wouldn’t stand a chance.

LF family and agree. Have been there for years w no politics and def no racism (??). I just know they have a full pre-K class plus record high demand so slots will go to rising kids first and then very little if any openings remain. I know they had record waitlists this year and can reasonably expect the same next year. Being an active parishioner tho should give you top priority after rising kids and siblings.

Did you leave for your local public?

There is no Dem dogma. That is correct. The integration of education and Christian beliefs is intentional. Best of luck with your child’s new school.

This Is upsetting - causal racism? Can you give examples? I never heard this.

We’re a new family at LF and have been extremely pleased with the education and inclusiveness. It was certainly the right move for DC. For what it’s worth, DH and I are Ds and our political affiliation hasn’t come up. Being a Catholic school I assume the parents tilt more R.

Thanks. I want to send my kid to an ADW school for multiple reasons. Not that it really matters, but for what its worth -- her father went to a Big 3 school and its not the end all be all of education.

To the obnoxious BIg 3 poster:

How many days have the three ADW schools been open this year vs The big 3??

Oh - and OP never asked about those.

PP - why the need to post something like that response. I am sure OP recognizes none of the three schools asked about in this thread are the proverbial BIG 3, As you are likely aware also. That was not his/her question. The parochial schools are run by the Pastor and reflect the parish and so there can be some variances in the schools.

and holy trinity and little flower are the best in ADW

I was going to suggest St. Barts!
