I went to Catholic elementary. In the public rural Jr Hi, we were all placed in the accelerated classes because of our elementary education. We were learning stuff in JR HI that I'd already covered in elementary. This is not to say the Jr Hi was lacking, just that we got a superior education at the catholic school.
However, this public rural school has amassed an amazing reputation, winning awards of excellence. One of my cow orkers was telling me that he knew of two people who moved into the district just for that school. It's where my nieces go, and it's amazing. There is also a huge sense of community...farmers and the like take pride in their community and their school system. It's grown to a big campus, with the jr hi now with the hs and elementaries...instead of the Jr Hi being in BFE (god i loved that old building but boy did my mom hate having to come get us after practice) and 4 elementary schools scattered throughout the district. Though smaller in student number than the local town high schools, the district covers a much larger area.
