Of course, the discipline expectations of the Catholic Schools AND the parents of those children is higher. So, perhaps that is a big reason.

I wouldn't doubt that.

Also, is it a very small community, and/or is the Catholic community close-knit? I would think that might make a difference as well.

Not small at all. Seattle area...(Shoreline, WA..used to be part of Seattle)
The 3 Catholic high schools in the area are really good...so the feeder schools are good (have to be) also...

But I don’t really know if the Catholic community is close-knit..compared to other Catholic communities...it always seems like they are...
