Catholic Schools in MKE region v public schools

[Pravda_Iskra]

I attended two Milwaukee area Catholic grade schools as well as a Catholic high school in Waukesha.

It was not worth the money. I did not receive any better of an education than my friends in public school and I was faced with old, tired facilities because the tuition money went to things like trips for the school priest, building him a new house, and his seven huge TV's. If you are a minority, things might be difficult for your children as well. I completely rejected Catholicism based on my enrolment in these schools from Kindergarten through 12th grade. It was not a good time.

Shorewood schools are some of the best in the state, if not the best. If I had the option, that is where I would send my kids.
