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 not be properly met.

With love in Christ.

In my area, the schools aren’t unsafe, but the some of the Catholic high school students are involved in drugs.

Just make sure to do your homework and cover all your bases when questioning different schools. Don’t be afraid to go back with questions 2 or 3 (or more) times until you have all the answers you want.
