Just a note...for Providence Catholic New Lenox there were at least four emergency services vehicles with another 8-10 foot patrols directing traffic for 289 testing 8th graders. We can only hope a football game night in New Lenox would warrant the same at LWC.

I was told JCA had 191 with another 20 or so testing in the next week. Up about 15 from last year.

Could you put that in context? Is that higher or lower than MC normally gets?

Ritadad,

Good to hear. When you say "student athletes," do you mean a potentially good Freshmen football team for 2015?

How often has Rita had a potentially bad Frosh team?

Yeah but at that this point last year wasn't pessimistic. Testing is great but for schools like MC,Rita,Rice etc it is about who actually enrolls after financial aid,academic and leadership money is awarded. I was told McAuley now requires first months tuition in March due to getting burned by a ton of no shows in August a few years ago.

The freshman QB had a shoulder injury and missed 4-5 games, he is going to be a good QB

...and after test takers from Chicago learn whether or not they have been granted admission to Young, Jones, Payton, Lane, Northside Prep, etc. I think a significant percentage of test takers at Chicago Catholic schools are hedging their bets by testing at a Catholic school and a selective enrollment CPS school. These kids have no intention of attending that Catholic school if they are accepted at a CPS selective enrollment school. That's one reason why the 40% legacy number for MC is meaningful. I think it's safe to say that the vast majority (if not all) of those MC legacy test takers consider MC as their Plan A and not their Plan B.

PC has contracted with the emergency services of the NLPD to not only handle traffic at events but also for after school traffic.
Accidents on Rt. 30, mainly after school, have been significantly reduced.

I teach at a Catholic grade school and this is definitely the case. I'd say roughly 3/4's of our 8th graders took the selective enrollment test in addition to a Catholic school test. The selective enrollment schools are great options, and parents are increasingly concerned about their kids getting into these schools. To me, it really seems like this has changed significantly over the past 5 years or so, where as before parents hardly considered anything but a Catholic high school education.

Also, I heard that St. Francis de Sales tested only 25 kids. Hard to see how they keep their doors open.

SIU,

I heard from a good source that Benet and Marmion were pretty consistent and Montini was down about 30 kids from last year. I know SF was around 265.

No worries, they've had more success in the free agent market than the draft.

epic,

I think Marmion is really tight hen it comes to letting in kids. They always try to limit classes to around 125. As far as Benet, I keep hearing they were around what they have been the past few years but a little down from last year. From what I heard last week Montini was around 170 for testing and SF was around 265 or so. None of the numbers I heard are including any make up test taking kids.
