Homeschooling. Downsize your lifestyle and live on one income if you have to. Your kids are worth it. They will be safer and more educated.


That’s a big sacrifice to make for your kids to become social weirdos with no friends

Just send them to one of the Catholic schools. They’ll get a great education for a fraction of the price compared to the other three schools you mentioned.

I went to Episcopal. Great school!

With that said my Boys are in the Ascension parish school system and I have been very impressed.

I can tell some of you are not aware of what modern homeschooling looks like. Private schools kids just have more expensive drug habits than hood kids. We used coops for more specific subjects. We had more field trips than I can remember. You have more than enough socialization with bigger umbrella schools. My oldest is on track for nursing school and my youngest finishes college in May with a near 4.0 (one B). She will then attend law school.
Was it a sacrifice, sure. Was it worth it, absolutely. It’s ok if it’s not for you, but don’t make generalizations like I did, purposefully.
There are “weird” and unsociable kids in all schools. I don’t recall any homeschool mass shooters.

Makes me uncomfortable realizing that to you this was not a weird post to make.

100% true and BR Magnet has led the state in National Merit scholars for the last few years. More than Jesuit, more than Catholic, more than Episcopal.

As long as you realize you've taken everything fun about being young, out of their lives. That's not what a good parent does.
What a loser

Send them to Episcopal if you want your kid to see other weirdos walking around dressed up as a furry and the admin encouraging it

My kids went there. Neither are gay or communists. Both went to college for free.

I guess calling people names makes you feel better about all the money you spent.

I don’t know how old you are, but these are not the public school experiences that most of us had. Schools are a minimum security prison producing below grade level students. If you can afford elite private education, then you can easily downsize to provide education for your children at home I’m fine if you don’t want to, but the world is better off for those who have. Anyone who says that kids are more “socialized” in public schools are ignorant or intentionally misleading.

If academics are the main focus then episcopal is way out in front of the three. Dunham is a good school but not on the same level. Parkview is a distant third of those
