Is Catholic or Christian schools better than public schools?
Generally, yes. In my opinion: Catholic schools in the United States provide a very good moral and religious base for children. As a rule they are also safer than public schools. Educationally, most of them are above average. Although some are exceptionally good and a very few are bad. Your school or the diocese should have some test scores for comparison. In general, Catholic schools do a good job with average and above average kids. However the resources of most Catholic schools in the United States are limited. If students need extra attention due to being way over or way under average, then their needs may be more properly met in a public school. With love in Christ.
