Earlier this month, President Obama challenged high schools across the
county to compete against each other in the second annual "Race to the
Top” educational success program for the chance to have him give the
commencement address at their graduation. Not included in the contest,
though, are the more than 2 million students in America’s Catholic
schools.

If they could participate, the nation’s parochial schools would be
fearsome competitors.
A 2009 comparison between public and Catholic school SAT scores show
that public school students had an overall average of 496 points on
the critical reading portion of the test while Catholic school
students scored 533 points on the same portion. Catholic school
students outscored their public school counterparts by an average of
23 points.

What makes the numbers more impressive is that Catholic high schools
spend more than $2,000 less per pupil than public schools.

mr dude (I guess the Muslim schools Obama attended weren't included in
the data)

Oh, and please don't try childishly to discredit the source. Try to

Good for Obama. As someone who is not Catholic they should exclude
catholic schools.

After all my religion is not welcome at Catholic schools..

Jebus taught us to help the needy.

Jebus did not tell us to have the jack booted Imperial Federal
government force us to involuntarily give up our income with the
threat of imprisonment

You obviously have NEVER read the Bibble!!!!

Catholic schools students have parents who actually care somewhat
about their kids. That has to be worth at least 80 points on the SAT
score.
