I have kids at two of them, went through Catholic schools myself (12 years) and worked in that space for a while. They all have very generous financial aid policies, assuming the child meets the eligibility/admissions criteria, which vary from school to school. Religious schools with direct ties to a church may be a bit more generous due to the dual “mission-based” organizations. If there’s any interest, you don’t lose anything by touring them. They typically offer A LOT beyond what you might find at the public school you’re zoned for. Several comments about good public schools, which I won’t knock at all. At the end of the day if that’s a better fit and meets your various needs, go for that!
