Completely depends on where you live. New Orleans? Yeah, Catholic schools are better. Palo Alto? Send your kids to public school.
More accurately, it completely depends on the racial demographics of your school district.

Look man Im with you. Catholic school my whole life, south La, my whole family etc etc. What you want here would be Ravenwood/Brentwood high and not Father ryan. I think you should avoid blanket statements before moving around. It is the same thing as people from out of Louisiana saying private school kids are all filthy rich spoiled kids
I lived in Katy, TX in one of the best school districts around and would have still sent my kids to private.

This is very true. Probably why the St Tammany Parish Schools like Mandeville High always rank so high.

You're either talking out of your arse or you're children and yourself were not receptive to a real learning environment with discipline.

Actually it depends way more no socioeconomic factors.
If you're living somewhere where there's a chunk of poor people it doesn't matter if they're all white or black or mexican, the public school environment is gonna be meh at best.
It so happens that in LA and a lot of places a lot of the poor happen to be black, but the race isn't as much of a factor as socioeconomic status.

I went to Catholic school from Pre-K until college and I am of the opinion the quality of education is far superior to a public school.
Depends on the area, the public school in my city shits on all/almost Private schools in Louisiana.

quote:to me, it isn't totally about math, english, science, etc...it is also about leaning right from wrong, community service, helping others, etc. This is a big part of the Catholic education. I like how the moral and spiritual compass gets pointed in the right direction (or at least there is an attempt to point it in the right direction)...Perhaps you get that at other schools.
quality of the education better because of the quality of the classroom instruction or the quality of the students sitting in the classroom

Agreed.
Educated blacks who have their shite together have kids who succeed in private school, and not because they want any special treatment, but because of strong work ethic and a desire to succeed and achieve in their own right.
This has been my experience as a parent of kids in private school.

False.
It depends entirely on socioeconomic status. Majority minority families in economically upward areas are far far far better than any where the majority of students are in poverty.

Evidence based research that contradicts your "fact."
Where are you located?
Most wealthy people seek out Montessori programs. They also seek out good public educations...they didn't become wealthy by not knowing the value of a dollar and wasting it.
On the whole, you won't see them going to catholic schools.

What wealthy people do you know? Only place I could maybe see this being the case is in Texas or somewhere with historically top public schools. You really think wealthy people are worried about $20,000 per year for their kid? Who knew Newman was made up of a bunch of middle class families
