Somehow a respectable football discussion degenerated into an academics pissing match, but I'll play.
Kids can find a challenge and good to great education at any of the Catholic high schools, and ultimately I think the kids and parents have a much greater influence on success than the school itself. Rummell had a NMS in 2014. BM and HC had none. Jesuit had 34 while Franklin (public, free and much smaller) had 24. NM2014
HC has stepped up its academics, with a rigorous new scholars program with extra requirements like debate, latin and a thesis. HC scholars
St Aug and Shaw have also put out plenty of quality young men. One cause of the enrollment decline probably is the rebound of public opportunities, though that's also a silver lining for the community as a whole. Thomas Jefferson had a kid score a perfect 36 on the ACT.

The westbank also has Pat Taylor with a new 36 million dollar facility that is going to gobble up a lot of kids who would have gone to private school in addition to TJ. Also, Kenner is about to open up a Charter school that will accept high school students so a small portion of the Rummel/Curtis bloc will go there as well.

Always does when you start comparing the Catholic league schools

I wouldn't call Franklin much smaller. They have 897 vs. Jesuit's 1187. Proportionally, they perform worse as it relates to National Merit Scholars.
