Sorry, but I don’t see anyone from Jesuit sending their boy to holy cross or vice versa


Again, there are some exceptions to your belief on NOLA Catholic schools and legacies. I would guess 90% send their kids to the HS's they attended.
My brother graduated from Holy Cross with honors and played D1 CFB. His son went to John Curtis, graduated valedictorian 4.0 gpa, and played college baseball earning an undergraduate and 2 master's degrees. His other son attends Lakeshore in Mandeville and also an honor student. Holy Cross was never really a serious consideration.

In Baton Rouge, if I went private it would be u-high. My daughter right now is In public (FLAIM) and have zero regrets with my choice. I could afford episcopal with a lot of sacrifice but I consider my ROI going immersion to be the right choice. Free elementary through high school (Baton Rouge High), small classes through middle and zero debt for college.

When I lived in Cheyenne, WY, there was like one private K-8 school and no private high schools. Everyone sent their kids to public.

Also not a private school.

Private schools aren’t the same as religious based schools.

No one who goes to Newman attends Temple on campus. The school is less than half Jewish.

It was founded as a trade/mechanical school for Jewish orphans in 1903.

Spending $10-20k a year for 12 years just for your kid to end up at LSU doesn’t seem like the best use of one’s resources.


I don't want my kids to have blue hair or to get their arse kicked while trying to learn.

Well, yeah. STM and TCHS are both catholic parochial schools and LCA is a non denominational private. LCA's tuition is probably half of the others.
