100% was when I went to Catholic

When was that? I have one graduate from Smhs 4 years ago and it was a choice to go there and my other one is a senior now and chose to go there too. I know many kids that tour catholic and then Smhs and they chose Smhs. Catholic ain’t the bees knees for everyone.

You need to stop embarrassing yourself in this thread. We are taking about present day 2024, not the 2000s private school environment.

I asked the question..
This is what I’m thinking…
(1) Orleans and Jefferson are significantly larger than B.R. For starters
(2) The New Orleans area is generally more Catholic than B.R.
(3) schools like Parkview and U-high have a higher percentage of Catholic students than comparable NOLA schools suggesting they could be more Catholic high schools in BR
(4) there are probably more Catholics in the public school system. Not sure but I’m guessing there might be more Catholics at Woodlawn than East Jefferson- for example- if you adjust any differences in the % of Hispanics
(5) Catholic High could be much bigger but chooses not to or isn’t physically able to
(6) St Michael isn’t bigger because it’s not centrally located?!?

The New Orleans metro area is much larger than the BR metro area; consequently NO has more HS students.
NO metto 1,271,845
BR metro 870,569
NO has 50% more people
EBR also has several private schools that are popular, but aren’t Catholic, Dunham, Parkview, U High, Central Private, and Episcopal.
Also EBR has three independent school districts that are popular. Baker, Central and Zachary. These three public HS absorb a lot of kids too.
Then you have good school districts in Ascension and Livingston and W Feliciano.
It all adds up.

I’ve always said St. Theresa - St. John is missing out on big money by not having a catholic high school on the east side of Ascension Parish.

No I meant ten total kids. I have never heard of a single kid from Aloysius ever going to parkview. Ever
Bishop and u high would get a few. Redemptrist (RIP) used to get 10 or so a year from the graduating 8th grade class

I have a young relative that is quite a frick-up. Constant discipline problems and poor grades in a Catholic elementary school, and he still got into Catholic High. If that kid got in, I have trouble believing their standards are very high at all anymore.

Every single kid from my class that went to Aloysius that applied to Catholic got in (2002)
5 boys went to Redemptrist by choice. They struggled in school and RHS was more accommodating
1 went to U high
1 went to Dunham
42 of us went to Catholic

Not the way you present it.
Of course it adds up because it’s happening— but “what” is happening
New Orleans metro less than 1M without the north shore.
If you include the north shore, you’ll add St Paul’s, Hannah, and Pope John Paul II.
Destrehan, Belle Chasse, Mandeville, Foitainbleau, etc are all well attended
Chalmette is the biggest public school in the state.
St Martins, Country Day, Newman, etc exist in New Orleans, too.
Even so— New Orleans Catholic high has much more than double the enrollment than Catholic/St Michael.

2002. Only 1 kid from my elementary school applied to SMHS (then bishop) first. The ones that didn’t get into CHS all ended up at SMHS

Pretty much anyone who pays can get into Catholic… like 90%.
They are taking more because they want/need the $$$.. not near as “exclusive” as it once was.

I can absolutely believe that, and as best I can tell, that is still the case.
