this comment is Ridiculous. The catholic schools are great here on LI. Even I can say that ST Ant's kids are competitive, disciplined, academically strong, seem well mannered when it counts which is not the norm at this age. SJB is a great school as well. Same moral codes and message.
friends there who left public schools are amazed and delighted at the change in their kids/athletes. and mostly, academics is #1 focus there, from the words of the coaches. support is there, also, every day of the week.
