what is the difference between the public school and the Catholic school?

Answer 1

In my opinion:

Catholic schools provide a very good moral and religious base for children. As a rule they are also safer than public schools.

Educationally, most of them are above average. Although some are exceptionally good and a very few are bad. Your school or the diocese should have some test scores for comparison.

In general, Catholic schools do a good job with average and above average kids.

However the resources of most Catholic schools are limited. If students need extra attention due to being way over or way under average, then their needs may not be properly met.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

There are MANY differences between the public school system and Catholic schools. I have taught in both and have attended both. The obvious difference being that public school is paid for out of tax payers money and Catholic school almost always has a tuition. In my opinion... often times Catholic schools are smaller...leading to a family atmosphere. Public schools can be large and unwelcoming at times. Catholic schools often lack the funds that public schools have. However, Catholic schools seem to spend their available funds more wisely. Their are usually more funds to send teachers to staff development activities in public schools. Meaning that the good teachers in public school will be on top of new educational research and programs. Teachers in Catholic school will be also but they often must pay for these things themselves out of their meager pay. Catholic schools encourage Christian values and usually have the students attend mass weekly or monthly. Public schools often have citizenship programs, however, they fall short of what is taught at Catholic school. Catholic school will also include a religion class during the school day. As I mentioned I have taught in both. Currently, I am in public school and I would go back to Catholic school in a heart beat, however, I am the bread winner in my family and I simply can't afford the pay. (I doubled my pay by switching from Catholic to public school.) I do however, miss the warm, inviting, family atmosphere of Catholic schools. (Again, this post is all my opinion.)

Answer 3

At public schools they teach ordinary things and at Catholic schools they teach religion and the schoolsclasses are smalller in size compared to public schools.
