A 2009 comparison between public and Catholic school SAT scores show that public school students had an overall average of 496 points on the critical reading portion of the test while Catholic school students scored 533 points on the same portion. Catholic school students outscored their public school counterparts by an average of 23 points.
What makes the numbers more impressive is that Catholic high schools spend more than $2,000 less per pupil than public schools.
Unfortunately, a lot of areas in our diocese don't have a Catholic high school available. But, I am glad I could send my kids to Catholic school for grades K-5. Support our Catholic schools when you can. Having the boys at Poky Catholic was like being with family.
