Thanks Twingles. Corpus Christi closing is the reason for the post
Some facts:
St Aidan's: No diversity, 98% White
Student Teacher Ratio St. Aidan School- East Campus - Williston Park, New York - NY
All of the other schools have more diversity, with at least 22% minority
St Thomas: looks like a dynamic school with lots of activities, but no advanced Math in 8th grade
as of 2008, 32% black, things have changed:
Student Teacher Ratio St. Thomas School - West Hempstead, New York - NY
Notre Dame: Good activities and academics including advanced Math; outstanding test scores, an active, welcoming school community, larger classes--several grades have 25+ in a class. An exceptional Art teacher--impressive elementary school art projects.
St Joseph: Good activities and academics including advanced Math and advanced science, an active, welcoming school community
Middle school classes all have decent numbers now, the 7th grade has 17 kids and the 6th grade has over 30 (in 2 sections)
55% of students are from GC including a number of military families from Mitchel Field in East GC, 45% from surrounding communities including Hempstead & Uniondale.
St Brigid: a lot of diversity, a more relaxed atmosphere than other Catholic schools, advanced math & science, weekend field trips, lots of interesting extracurricular and enrichment activities. Very friendly and accommodating office staff.
St Anne's: sounds great and has very good reviews but unfortunately just a little too far out of the way geographically
