OP here, I guess what I’m looking for isn’t if the families are politically conservative (which I understand they mostly are), I’m more interested in knowing if they are conservative Catholics in which they adhere to the church’s teachings and actually participate in the life of the church, which are two totally different things.
We are at a diocese school connected to a vibrant parish, but I’d say only 20% of the school families attend Mass regularly.

Connected to which church or parish, though? If you are finding your current school lacking because only 20% regularly attend Mass, you'll see even fewer Heights families at Mass because they are spread out across parishes.
I suspect on the whole you'll find that most Heights families go to mass fairly regularly. I'm not sure that attendance shows up in the culture or fabric of the school however because it is distributed attendance.

You are kidding aren’t you? Do you have any idea how bigoted you sound? Did you even bother to look him to before repeating any piece of idle female gossip that flits into your empty head? Ever even hearof the difference between political appointments and career employees? No I didn’t think so.
“Idle female gossip”?
What century are you living in?
I at from a very catholic family (think 10 kids, several close relatives currently catholic nuns, one priest, etc), and Opus Dei would be too conservative for us. We have close, very catholic (mass during the week, Trump supporter) friends who only lasted a year at The Heights bc the families in their son’s grade were extremely religiously conservative. That said, they have some close friends from the school, so it sounds like it may be grade specific.

It’s possible the distinction here is your interactions with *former* (key word!) numeraries. (Current) numeraries represent about 20% of Opus Dei members. They are celibate, and they live in special residences where they lead extremely structured lives. They work, but their income minus basic expenses goes to Opus Dei.
These practices are what people are referring too when they say numeraries are isolated from the rest of society and allow Opus Dei to have nearly total control over its members.
