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.
Absolutely, but I specifically said “traditional public school”

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.
You are pretty misinformed. There are a ton of kids at Catholic that play multiple sports.
Now, is it easier to start at Episcopal compared to Catholic? Sure. But that goes for any 2A school compared to a 5A school.

WTF is anyone paying 25K for K-12 education? I don't care how bad EBR public schools are... no K-12 education is worth anywhere near that price.
If you are dumb enough to pay that, you are dumb enough to get snookered into paying that for virtual education, too.

You live in the Dutchtown school district and paid $25K to send your kids to HS?
I bet you roll to 30A decked out in Yeti gear rolling in a Yukon with Disney stickers

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
So you are paying 25K a year for your kid to play HS sports, even though they suck at sports?

For the most part Catholic and Episcopal offer the same sports. At Episcopal you have around 200 guys in high school. At Catholic you have a little over a thousand. That lower number at EHS makes it much easier to be a multiple year starter in different sports. And thus by it being easier, it happens much more often.

There it nothing traditional about BRMHS
It is simply a free private school
Why would someone pay 25k if there is a free private school.

My daughter is 13 and has been out of school (physically) for 5 months. She needed to be back in school.
A lot of parents selected the optional remote learning until January but I dropped her off 15 minutes early on the first day
Mine is 12, and has been physically out of school the same amount of time. First day was yesterday. For the sanity of the entire household, she was there early, and will continue to go there unless the school is shut down.
The archdiocese does a lot of things that pisses me off, but I'm glad they're taking a hardline against going towards total virtual learning.
They offered a virtual option for parents who are scared to send their precious turds to school. As far as I know, only one kid has taken that option.

And while it’s a great school, I wouldn’t say it’s for everyone. I would not have wanted to go there

Adlai Stevenson High school is a traditional school with over 4000 students and has a 27 average ACT.

I’m not exactly sure why y’all are posting schools in Illinois to show there are traditional public schools just as good
And the school you named is considered the best traditional public school in the entire nation. So, the best in the entire nation is on or with episcopal

My BIL started a business years ago and it grew a decent amount. He had 50-75 employees at one point. He sold it to a big national competitor.

Episcopal BR costs 25k a year? Or do you have more than one attending? That’s more than Newman. I knew it was pricey but didn’t think it was that high

I met a guy who ones a computer science company. He sent his children to Episcopal.
Lab school seems more new money

Is that the old Bishop Sullivan? Back in my day that was just a slightly better school than Woodlawn, which wasn't saying much.
Maybe they've improved though.

People from the deep south are always making fun of people from places like NY and CA for the taxes and cost of houses. Admittedly they don't pay that much for those things but you've got to pay 20k a year minimum to avoid the public schools.

Yup. Has nothing to do with school. Most of them don’t even have symptoms. Their college bound older siblings got tested for college and Then younger sibs had to get tested. that’s the main reason.
