Conservative, not "ultra" -- its just that every other school promotes LGBTQ and non-family values. Standing for traditional marriage/society isn't "ultra"

OMG. You could't have proven my point any better. Can only imagine what you think is ultra-conservative...

Yikes.

OP, St Mary's waitlisted quite a few parishioners this year, so moving into their parish boundaries does not guarantee admittance.

YES. It is.

The Heights is extremely competitive.

Attend the lectures, start going to open houses early, and start doing camps young to familiarize with school and faculty. It's heaven on earth for boys, I hope you can get in!

Why is it so good for boys?

I went to the Oakcrest open house last fall and found it very welcoming. The school is beautiful and it felt like a very warm environment. We are a mixed race family with one parent Catholic and the other not Christian at all, and we are politically moderate. We did not find the community to be extremely conservative. If the school wasn’t so far of a drive for us, we might have considered it more seriously.
