you can succeed by going to true private, parochial (more faith based due to your beliefs) and/or public schools (better representation of the real world that everyone has to live in at some point).
You eventually have to live and work with all walks of life at some point and it's more a reflection of the educational system your city and state can provide that makes those decisions for families.
I have children in parochial and public and both have good and bad, your kids will have to deal with it and make right and wrong decisions and you hope more right on how you raised them.
Thank you.
This also brings up another issue nobody talks about. We spend thousands trying to educate the next generation, only to have a large share of them leave their home areas because of the lack of industry and services. In many ways we are subsidizing other states workforce.

Parochial is a subset of private.
As far as all the other comments, the reality is that just like public schools, there is a wide gap in parochial and non-parochial private schools.
Some are very good, some are very average, and some are pretty bad when it comes to academics.
In almost all cases, a non-public school is going to offer smaller class sizes and a smaller overall population than the relevant public school. Some kids do better in smaller environments.
My experience has been, that most Catholic elementary schools are pretty terrible at educating all kids, however, most Catholic high schools are pretty good at educating average kids.
A kid at Brother Martin will get a better education than a kid attending Warren Easton. But a kid attending Ben Franklin will get a better education than a kid attending Brother Martin.

Over quite a bit of time, you've made some real poorly thought-out statements. This one jumped right up there to the top though. Congratulations!

For the above reason.

For every kid that gets a good taxpayer-funded education, we have 5 that don't, for many reasons. We don't generate enough great college grads to populate a large enough business climate to employ them all. So, they leave.
And this causes other problems as well.
In the accounting field, every firm I know of is looking for people with 5-10 years experience. Every single one.
Yet every firm has TONS of people applying for entry level staff positions.

Yes I think parochial education is the worst level of education. It requires the lowest of requirements from teachers in the clasrroom. In some cases has politicalized knowledge. If your school mandates creationism then you are in the wrong school

Agree.
My kids are in parochial school and I am a public school teacher!
The public school does not reflect the values I want impressed on my kids. I pay a little extra for the parochial school experience.
Parochial school is like a family with common values and strong commitment. Great environment to learn.
Public school is government mandated and there are people there from all different viewpoints. Eventually kids will likely be in this environment- but first a good foundation will be laid in the parochial school. My kids my choice. I will do my best to raise some respectful Christian (Badger fans) that like the outdoors and sports and can discern political nonsense as they mature.
I will take my Creationism teaching parochial school over the public school where u pick your gender in kindergarten and continual identity politics and white guilt and radical progressive material and continual lowering standards of performance and respect and horrendous language.

Not sure what Redemptorist was categorized.
Redemptorist started off as a parochial school (St Gerard Majella High) ran by the Sisters of Notre Dame and overseen by the Redemptorist fathers.
The sisters left in the 80’s and RHS later fell under the Diocese of BR, making it Private.
The only 2 Diocese ran HS in BR was RHS & Bishop Sullivan/St Michaels
It left being a Parochial school, but still was connected to St Gerard Majella Church.
And yes, Verges can still kiss it.

Private schools cost ($25k+
Where? Is there any school in the state of Louisiana that costs 25K?
Newman doesn’t even cost that much.
