Go woke go broke
My daughter goes to DHS, and I am involved with the school quite often. It’s not woke, and neither my daughter or myself are “woke”. It is still the best academic girls catholic school and is pretty dominant in sports.
People on here are talking shite just to talk shite and don’t know wtf they are talking about. Enrollment is down, that’s true. It is less to do with politics than it does with the school’s location. The school is also actively developing and marketing campaign, and to deal with any perceived or actual crime, has trained armed guards.
No one got carjacked in the damn carpool lane. They didn’t show the Obama inauguration. The only people who got pissed about ACB and DHS promoting her accomplishments was Reddit, and those neck beards bitch about anythjng.

How many Supreme Court Justices did Miss McGehee produce?
You think some blue haired blue blood old lady living in the Garden District that’s paying the tuition for her grandchildren to go to McGhee gives a frick about the Supreme Court or Dominican?

All of the Catholic high schools in NOLA accept kids in 8th grade. Almost all of the Catholic elementary schools end with 7th. It’s been that way for years.
Been this way for about 10 years. Annunciation in Bogalusa preserved their 8th grade longer than anyone but in the end they lost the battle.

We also have a VERY strong men’s club and let me tell you, we are very involved in virtually every aspect of the school and none of us are “woke”.

McGehee is $28,000 for high school
Newman is almost $27,000
Sacred Heart is $22,000
St. Martin is $26,000
Country Day is $25,000
As I said in my first post, I wouldn’t send my girls to Dominican unless I couldn’t afford other options

Catholic schools have found their place in New Orleans in no small part because they slot in between public schools and expensive private ones. They are seen as more disciplined and “safer” than public schools while being less expensive than private schools.

I wanted to move back to NOLA so my oldest could go there - didn’t happen - but I can always hope my youngest will go

Isn’t Domenican on St. Charles near Broadway?

Since I didn’t get downvoted the first time enough, honest question if you have 8th graders and your enrollment is low why not go to 7th graders?
I’m just curious where the 8th grade addition came from. I went to 3 different catholic schools in 3 states and 3 different HS in 3 states and I’ve never seen only 8th graders in HS. It’s always been either elementary through 8th or some other combo.
So I gotta assume this is more a Louisiana thing than Catholic diocese?

Sacred heart is the only catholic school on that list, and outside of Newman, the others are considered MRS. Degree prerequisites.
DHS is still academically intensive and still strict. Is it different than Chapelle and MCA? Yes. They tend to be more selective, more academically inclined, and more focused on leadership. I was perfectly okay with my daughter going to MCA, Chapelle not so much.

You must be thinking of Sacred Heart
Dominican College was on St. Charles & Broadway until it closed in 1984. Academy of Sacred Heart is further down St. Charles.

There's alway been 8th grade in the New Orleans area Catholic schools. It just never used to be mandatory. Prior to mandated 8th grade, the 8th grade classes used to be about half the size of 9-12 classes.
I think it was more of an enrollment issue at the Catholic elementary schools. Enrollment has been declining in the elementary schools since Katrina with a number of them being shutdown.
So you had the normal kids (primarily boys) leaving for the voluntary 8th grades in high school combined with the dwindling overall enrollment to where it wasn't really making sense to continue with the 8th grades in elementary schools with such small class sizes.

I’m sure money is the driver. The only entity that love money more than a public school is a catholic school.
We bailed on the Catholic system after Covid. It became glaringly obvious that our school leaders were incapable of doing anything other than what the state was doing. There was no backbone. You pay for private school so you don’t have to deal with the govt.
