Is it ten thousand dollars better than Catholic or St. Joe's? No. But it offers things that those schools don


Wtf do they offer more of? My kid goes to St Micheal and she has everything she wanted and needed. Also she will graduate with 18 hours towards her bachelor for LSU in May. Also Episcopal doesn’t have a danceline that is competitive so right there they don’t offer more than any school for me. And just last year SJA started a competitive danceline. Maybe EHS has a better campus but the rest of private schools have good campuses.

Average ACT at the Woodlands is 26.


25.9

That's lower than both Catholic and Episcopal. And the Woodlands is one the best public HS in the country.

More of an all around experience. Just like I said in the previous post. Top notch academics and the ability to actually participate in any extracurricular activity you want to. Kids at Episcopal have the ability to actually play multiple varsity level sports for multiple years. The same can't be said for the larger Catholic schools in BR.

St. Michael the Archangel is a good school, and great bang for you buck. Just don't think it is on Episcopal's level.

That is awesome, and you should be really proud of her.

Hey Jack....keep your damn kid home on the weekend or at least keep them with you and don't let them get infected at freaking parties.

I'm all for live your life....but if you want to have school continue to be open you can let your damn kid get exposed to tha Rona and then take that shite to school and expose all the other damn kids....that's just dumb.

How so? It's pretty easy to play multiple sports at Episcopal. And if you kid isn't good enough to start at Episcopal, there is no way they are playing at Catholic or St. Joe's

Just looked, $21.5K total thats with $1138 lunch included.

Damn!


But in all honesty, you pay based on supply/demand, so while I get and I'm sure I'd be pissed too, if enough people are willing to pay that much even for virtual, then the price won't be reduced.

If enough people back out, it will be reduced.

BRMHS is always in that 25.5-27 range and they draw students from poor- middle class families. And they have like 400 kids per class . And it’s free. Not bad for us trashy public school peeps. Just sayin.

I said kids at Episcopal have the ability to actually play(as in play in the games, not sit the bench/rarely sub in) on multiple varsity teams for multiple years.

Yes kids at the larger Catholic school can do the same, but it is definitely not as often. Also the ones that do often end up being D1 athletes. Your average kid at Catholic isn't going to be a two year starter on both the varsity Football and Baseball team(or any combination of sports). That happens quite often at Episcopal.
