My family recently located to the 50th and France area. Looking at sending our son to kindergarten next year at one of three Catholic schools - OLG in Edina, or Carondelet or Annunciation in Minneapolis. Does anyone have insights into any of these schools? We are more liberal-leaning/social justice-minded Catholics, if that helps.

Funny--when i saw the title of your post, I immediately thought "it depends on your social/political views"

You'll be happiest at Annunciation, followed by Carondelet, and then OLG. All are good schools and friendly communities

I would agree with this ranking from a social justice perspective. We’ve had contact with all three through inter-school primary and middle school athletics and have a good impression of the students and parents of all of them.

Thank you, PPs. Do any of these three have a particularly good academic reputation (is one known for being the “best” academically)? Although we like catholic schools, we want to make sure it’s academically worth sending our son to one, vs. Edina Public Schools.

Why would you jump to that conclusion?

It wasn’t a jump. There have been instances of conflict between the priest and parents at Annunciation because some parents felt he was too conservative. Overall, Linden Hills is more liberal than Edina.
