When I lived in Houston, a Jewish friend sent his daughter to a local Baptist high school instead of to a local public high school. He is not a JINO, but a very tradition minded conservative. What he noticed was:
His daughter did not feel threatened in the Christian environment,
the quality of the curriculum was far better and more challenging, and, finally,
she was amazed that she did not have to walk through a metal detector each morning.

We live in an area full of Baptists...

My wife has been told at least 3 times by some of the fauxly rollers that she “doesn’t look Jewish” ( I guess her nose isn’t big enough maybe???)

Our daughter has been asked, “Why the Jews were so mean to Jesus” and told that hanukkah isn’t a real holiday by some of their kids.

On the other hand, where I grew up in Boston the Jews who went to their own schools usually kicked everyone else’s ass in the academic competitions where as the Catholic school kids, the male schools were full of punk kids who smoked, drank and beat people up and the female schools were slut factories....

The Presbyterian school I attended for several years only enrolled children from families where at least one parent was a professing Christian. And by “Christian” they included Roman Catholics as well as the Protestant/Evangelical groups. I guess not all Christian schools have that requirement.

What I find odd about my area is that we have a sizable Jewish and Catholic population and there are several elementary level schools for those faiths. But there is only one Jewish high school and four Catholic high schools in my county.
