esuit may be the best overall value as I said however depending on the kid's chosen field in life a school like Newman or Country Day may better prepare them.
I'm just curious how you qualify this. Two of my cousins went to Newman. One went to Virginia Tech and did naval architecture. the other did Dartmouth and then got a masters at Boston University and does computer programming for a hedge fund in NYC. I went to Jesuit, then LSU for engineering.
The three of us are pretty equal in test scores and other aptitude type stuff. I'm wondering what you kind of advantages they may have gotten over me other name recognition on their degrees. I'm legitimately curious, not being a smartass.

Ehh compared to Jesuit yes.. Brother Martin isn't that much better if it even is. Chapelle is just a daycare for a bunch of raunchy chicks

From what I understand Rummel and Chappelle are considered the bottom end of the Catholic High Schools these days.
I think that's always been correct

Dude there are plenty of good public schools west of NOLA.

All I know is that Chappelle were considered the whores.

Surprised no one has brought up the massive amounts of money donated to Jesuit by Alumni as the reason their tuition is low. Most of my friends that went to other schools think I'm crazy when the subject of donating money to your high school comes up.

And maybe some people would rather live in and around NOLA and pay for good schooling than live in those areas. What a crazy concept.

Northshore HS in Slidell is probably just as good, but it's in fricking Slidell.

You say that like it's a bad thing. It's not like there is a minimum alum donation each year that is forced upon anyone.

Bc I can't wrap my head around dropping tens of thousands of dollars for a high school education

I think what you posted, Breesus's comment about Holy Cross and the others about demographic shift to the north shore cover it. When I went to Holy Cross many moons ago, I was amazed at the number of kids who commuted from East Jefferson (like north west Kenner) all the way to the 9th Ward.
In a city where tradition rules, a 50 something year school like Rummel has trouble competing with the century old schools of Jesuit, Holy Cross and Brother Martin (Alloyisous, Cor Jesu).

Like I said based off of this thread it sounds like Jesuit is a great option and the best overall value. This may sound ridiculous... however if the child is going to go in to some sort of business field they may have better early networking options at one of those schools. Nothing wrong with Jesuit at all. It is a great school.
