[quote=outtamojo]From the private school crowd I know the impression I get is that private school is more of a way to control who their kids hang with.

That’s exactly why my sister sends them to Catholic school, she feels better since they screen out the riff-raff. She also feels there’s more accountability since she pays for it.

She’s also a public school teacher and she says California public schools don’t even have legitimate standardized testing. Most of the nation uses the Iowa Test, but California uses it’s own to achieve desired results.

I don’t know why some of you guys are complaining, San Diego is the heart of socialism in California. The top 10 employers in the county are various branches of the government.

If they are highschool age, then kids mostly go to private schools outside of the area. Catholic schools like Saints (all boys), OLP (all girls), or Cathedral (coed). These 3 all cost around $10,000 to $11,000 per year. So, about $1,000 per month.[/quote]
Just checked out all 3 schools. OLP is $11,260/yr., Saints is $11950/yr., and Cathedral is $11,675/yr. These rates are paid in full beginning of the year. Monthly rate will be higher. Much more reasonable than LJCD, Bishop’s, or Francis Parker (which are $22k+). I’m not sure how OLP, Saints, and Cathedral compares to LJCD, Bishop’s, or Francis Parker. But there must be a reason why the later 3 can charge 2X as much and still have students. Even at $11k, that’s ~$135k for 1 kids over 12 years (excluding pre-school and kindergarten). It would be more economical to just buy in PQ or RB if you have more than 1 kid.[/quote]

Bishops and Francis Parker are known for a high rate of Ivy League acceptance.

I went to the open houses for OLP, Saints, and Cathedral with my sister a few months back since her kids are going to HS soon. Saints and OLP are more competitive for admissions than Cathedral at this point, but Cathedral is a new and larger school. Cathedral also seemed to drill to parents that they are a Catholic school and that everyone had to take religion courses, but i did get the sense that it was a bit more relaxed than the others.
