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.
Correct. My Catholic HS's endowment is larger than UNO's

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).
15 years ago Rummel was one of the top 3-5 biggest schools in the state.
after Katrina it hasn't been the same. I'm not exactly sure why, but Rummel used to have the highest enrollment of all the catholic league. So tradition didnt really rule

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.
Oh, I didn't thin you were criticising anyone. There definitely networking to be had in the "high end" schools. And they are definitely a better springboard to go ivy league, that's for sure. But I'm sure some of that is the wealth usually required to attend those schools. I'm mildly jealous

So according to you, zero people should live in any of the major cities in South La for the most part?
if your argument is for NOLA, then it'll stay valid if there are truly no decent options for public school. but if you're around BR or Laf, you've got plenty of great options for a FREE education.
i mean its not my money, you guys can spend your hard earned cash however you like regardless of what i think. my opinion is that its not worth it and the education you can receive at a public school can be just as valuable. i think the trashy factor is hyped up.

Surprised no one has brought up the massive amounts of money donated to Jesuit by Alumni as the reason their tuition is low.
Jesuit is the best in the business in getting donations from alums.

People go to just catholic schools for more than just the education

Well, no offense, but you don't have the slightest fricking clue what you're talking about. Hmmm, I guess there may have been offense after all.

Sorry I don't want to settle for decent when it comes to my child's education and upbringing.

i'm sorry if this has been covered, but where did you go to high school and where do you live now?
I went to Donaldsonville High School. I'm now living in Lafayette, but plan to move near BR and put my future kids through school in the Ascension Parish school system.

Yet you comment on NOLA high schools like you have a clue. Bless your heart.

Because location played a bigger role. Rummel was the East Jeff Catholic School, only die hards would send their kids into the city.

Not when you consider the "voluntary" "gap" coverage that they hit you for from day one until you die.
But it is voluntary.

If you're sending your kid to a catholic school b/c of this, then by all means go for it.
The theme of this thread so far has been so that you can avoid the trashiness of public school and the bad eggs they have, NOT b/c you want to raise your children in a catholic environment. Granted I can see how they sort of go hand in hand, but this hasn't been mentioned at all yet. Stick to one point man
ETA: Noticed Golfer mentioned it on the first page but i overlooked it
