I worked as a Catholic school teacher and administrator for 10 years and I have been the pastor of five Catholic schools.
At the current place I’m in, our cost to educate is half of what the public school across the road is. they have a massive campus, unbelievable facilities, and are absolutely packed because of school of choice.
They just built a 30,000,000+ dollar football facility with an indoor swimming pool, as for us, we have buckets in the hallway to catch rainwater from our ceilings.
The public schools have massive, massive advantages against a vast majority of private schools: most notably, they are funded in part by people who choose private school.
I have family who work in the public school system, and I would suggest their number one issue was not a lack of money, It’s an abundance of administrators, but that’s obviously not the point here.
I read one of your comments below about private schools being selective, and I’m sure it happens in some places, but never once at a place I’ve been at have we rejected anyone for any reason except their inability to put their own education dollars where they want to.
The public schools require those dollars to not educate the private school kids
With all that, I can see how a person would look at the numbers you put up and want to in someway punish private schools, but I assure you, we are punished by the state in every conceivable legal way, and still manage to succeed even while competing against our own tax dollars.
I know this isn’t your point, but I wish we would burn the whole system down and rebuild it based around education.
Accompanying his repeated calls for an end to war, Pope Leo XIV will preside over the recitation of the Holy Rosary on May 30 in the Vatican Gardens, with each decade dedicated to people impacted by war—from families torn apart to medical personnel and volunteers.

Nearly 1 in 5 of our nation’s Veterans are Catholic. And while atheists, humanists, and nearly 100 other belief systems can choose their symbol on a VA cemetery headstone, Catholics still cannot choose a crucifix as their emblem of belief.
That is why I am advocating that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs add the crucifix as an eligible emblem at our national cemeteries. Their faith deserves to be represented, and I will keep fighting until it is.

So every player on the ice when Hughes scored the winner played some or all of their hockey in Michigan while growing up. Canton-Grosse Pointe-Waterford-Commerce Township. How great is that?!
