Well, I just finished a 2 year term on the school board of a Catholic grade school (pre-K - 8 ) and I'm highly in favor of them.

My third/last elementary school was Catholic, along with high school. I loved the experience!

I've been in the same public school district all my life. I haven't really had any real experience with them, but I plan on sending my kids there for K-6. I want them to attend a public school for seccondary education, because I feel that will get them better adapted to "the real world". There is a wider variety of people and interacting with them would be good. I think that that way, they can learn good moral values, they can be less tempted when they enter teenhood.
But yeah, regardless of it being public or private Catholic school, it's the quality that counts.

I went to a Catholic K-8 school from grades 2-8, but the one I went to did not support Catholicism very much. Basically, it had a religion class. That was the only thing different from public schools, which i have also attended, so i should know. There is a catholic high school around where I live, but it's absolutely terrible...people having sex in the bathrooms and smoking and drinking in class, selling drugs, advocating abortion. It's really awful, so that's why I'm home-schooling my way through high school...
But, as i see it, where i am, we seriously need to make catholic schools more Catholic and less secular, because we're headed down a very steep hill.

Well I've been in a Catholic school since kindergarten, and I'm currently in eighth grade. It's been nice, but sometimes the school seems to be too strict, but most of the teachers are nice. I enjoy my religion class. It actually helps my religious life when it comes to service and worship. Unfortunately most of my classmates ignore the Catholic part and think of it as more of a private school. When we were interviewed for Confirmation a lot of my classmates made up answers, and one of the interviewers, a sister at our school, said that a friend of mine should be a priest, but my friend told me personally that he made the answers up. I honestly told her that I wanted to be confirmed so that I am more open to serving the Lord, and I am actually thinking of being a priest or deacon. It's a possibility. I am very involved in my beliefs as a Catholic and my school has helped me. If anyone here plans on having children, I suggest sending them to a Catholic school until at least sixth grade or maybe even all of high school too. It's up to you obviously.

I plan on going to Catholic College, and I went to a Catholic K-8.. but there isnt a Catholic Highschool where I live, so I'm stuck at a charter public school. It's not that bad, but I liked my elementary school.

I've been in Catholic schools since pre-K and graduated from a Catholic university/college. I'm presently attending the local community college, but it isn't Catholic. I'd have to agree that it depends on the teachers and all, but the students at least learn morals and are not supressed in thinking or discussing God. My cousin who attended a public school said that it was very hard to mention God or morals without being the object of ridicule at that school. confused So again, I think it all depends on the theachers, students, etc. I'm finding out that going to this public school isn't all that bad either, since there are a lot of moral people here and those who want to help others do their best. 3nodding

It depends how god the school is at teaching religion. If they barely scrape over it like they do at Sacred Heart Cathedral School (the parochial school in my city), then public schools are probably better. Here, the kids who come from Sacred Heart are actually less likely to be involved in their faith. It's sad that a new convert would know more than kids who have been raised Catholic and brought up in a parochial school. However, good orthodox Catholic schools are definitely something I like. I also think we need a return to parochial HIGH SCHOOLS, since that is where all the sin is thrust upon people (I would know, I'm a junior).

As everyone else has said - it really depends on the school. There's so much variety among Catholic schools that you can't say they're all good or bad. Some are quite awful.
I'm all in favor of good Catholic schools, however. While public schools can be very good, a solid Catholic community is great to have, especially for young people. Learning about your religion in school is also a good thing, if your teachers know what they're talking about.

I think it is the obligation of Catholic parents to provide Catholic education to their children when possible. I'm not saying non-Catholic schools are bad. It's just that it doesn't provide education in Catholic beliefs. This would leave the child unequipped when faced with problems related to faith and morals.
Many Catholics today don't even know their own faith and that's why I find it imperative that Catholic children receive proper Catholics education.
