Do Regis, Marymount, and CSH actually underperform relative to their reputations when it comes to college placement? Regis in particular surprises me. My assumption would be that if you looked only at students who were admitted in 9th grade for K-12—and excluded K entrants—most of these other schools’ matriculation outcomes would look stronger.

I was surprised to so I just did some digging and put it on the instagram thread. they have very big numbers to schools like ND and Georgetown and I wouldn't be surprised if some boys are picking ND over other acceptances they may have from say Cornell or JHU.

Going from Catholic HS to Catholic college defeats the purpose of college. Broaden your horizons and get out of the echo chamber.

If I were Catholic and my son got into Regis I would send him in a heartbeat. But then he would not go to Catholic college.

Many parents care about community. Attending a schools that represents their values. Raw academic prowess at the expense of character (humility, empathetic, thoughtful, etc..) isn’t as desirable. NYC is especially known to have children grow up too fast and get exposed to drugs (party scene).

I feel like this piece is missing from the conversations on this forum. People seem to only be concerned with college matriculation and not with values or the kind of school that will turn out kids with integrity. This was top of mind for us when looking at high schools.

70,000 is a lot to spend on values. I know what you mean about emphasizing values and integrity and it can be a good fit. But can you name a school that lacks integrity? And please don’t say Trevor as a joke

NO - I am not from the area, but it is surprising how many girls at TT schools can’t dress well or have feminine qualities. When you see photos of multiple generations, you see a decline in elegance and style. You don’t get a sense attending a TT school will make the child as worldly and cultured as going to school in Europe.

??? I am not from the area either, I am from Asia.. I don't think your statement makes any sense...

No, but it might make the child an engineer or a doctor or something inelegant and unstylish like that.

The schools don’t really teach rigorous math to be competitive with Asia. The main advantage would be communication skills for the executive managerial role. The best talent is imported from abroad.

and yet the biggest and most innovative companies in the world are based in the USA.

Europe - no growth, limited opportunities, behind in technology. what does europe bring to the table outside of history and luxury goods?

Oh, then they definitely should be working on that Mrs degree and focus on elegance and style.

Is worldly or cultured really what we're aiming for? I thought it was critical thinking and learning ability but to each their own.

Who is to say having a high EQ wouldn’t take you further in life than a high IQ.

70,000 is a lot to spend on values. I know what you mean about emphasizing values and integrity and it can be a good fit. But can you name a school that lacks integrity? And please don’t say Trevor as a joke

NO - I am not from the area, but it is surprising how many girls at TT schools can’t dress well or have feminine qualities. When you see photos of multiple generations, you see a decline in elegance and style. You don’t get a sense attending a TT school will make the child as worldly and cultured as going to school in Europe.

Is worldly or cultured really what we're aiming for? I thought it was critical thinking and learning ability but to each their own.

Do Regis, Marymount, and CSH actually underperform relative to their reputations when it comes to college placement? Regis in particular surprises me. My assumption would be that if you looked only at students who were admitted in 9th grade for K-12—and excluded K entrants—most of these other schools’ matriculation outcomes would look stronger.

I was surprised to so I just did some digging and put it on the instagram thread. they have very big numbers to schools like ND and Georgetown and I wouldn't be surprised if some boys are picking ND over other acceptances they may have from say Cornell or JHU.

Going from Catholic HS to Catholic college defeats the purpose of college. Broaden your horizons and get out of the echo chamber.

If I were Catholic and my son got into Regis I would send him in a heartbeat. But then he would not go to Catholic college.

Many parents care about community. Attending a schools that represents their values. Raw academic prowess at the expense of character (humility, empathetic, thoughtful, etc..) isn’t as desirable. NYC is especially known to have children grow up too fast and get exposed to drugs (party scene).

I feel like this piece is missing from the conversations on this forum. People seem to only be concerned with college matriculation and not with values or the kind of school that will turn out kids with integrity. This was top of mind for us when looking at high schools.

Which is funny because lots of Brooklyn Heights families send their kids downtown for public school. (Spruce Street e.g.)

As a Brooklyn heights family, I don't know a single person who did that over PS8. You may be thinking of dumbo families who freaked out when they were re-zoned out of PS8

Sorry, I was not counting Dumbo as a distinct neighborhood from Brooklyn Heights. But was also thinking of middle school families, where I believe the situation is more complicated?

Yes, Dumbo is not zoned for PS8. Was until about 10 years ago.

MS is always more complicated than a good zoned PS, but I dont know anyone at Spruce, although Im sure there are some. PS8 has a middle school, MS8 (was renamed a few years ago, but it's very common pipeline). Or Brooklyn Prospect probably second most popular. Then there's Twain, ICE, PPAS, CSA .. all those charter and citywide schools. Some move to private at that point. Middle school is pain, but there are options.
