It’s not all fun and games at Catholic schools – they also provide a quality education for students that outweighs that of public schools.
Catholic school students in the Diocese of Brooklyn in particular outperformed both New York City and New York State schools in English, language arts, and math in three different grades: fourth, sixth and seventh.
In some cases, Catholic school students scored almost 20% higher than city and state schools.
When assessing Catholic school performance nationally, John Lavenburg, correspondent for The Tablet and Crux, is sourcing his data from the National Catholic Educational Association.
He joins Currents News in the studio to discuss what the numbers from 2023 and 2024 can mean for catholic education and student performance for 2025.
