Very truthful and accurate. People complain about Catholic schools recruiting. The simple truth is we don't recruit then we don't exist. And that applies to all students. All I know is that the gentleman who is our lead recruiter works his *** off and is an excellent person as well. We love our schools and like/need our jobs, so everyone recruits in our school.

It was a nice bounceback number. Normally we'd expect 210-230 year in and out with the limited number of kids out there now. Enrolling a class of 190+ gives some much needed breathing room. Unfortunately probably keeps us 8A
I don't think people complain about recruiting, I think people complain that recruiters pretend the enrollments of recruited schools and non-recruited schools are somehow similar.
Ladies and Gents,
In a world that is constantly forcing secularism down our throats, and in a thread dedicated to discussing Catholic school enrollment testing, can we please remember our faith and the blessings bestowed upon us during this holiday season and all remember it’s...
MERRY CHRISTMAS

And I think that people continue to complain/whine even 14 or so years after they complained/whined their way to a 1.65 multiplier to "level the playing field" with respect to enrollment. At the time the multiplier was instituted, I said that this would not be the end of the whining, and I was right. It's just the nature of the public school beast.
Correction Marist 278 boys not 288 (granted they could get 10 makeups and hit 288). Hearing Rita from 2 sources - one says 153 other says 171.
Waiting on the inflation, I mean confirmation
. Nice bounce back for Rice and good numbers by MC and Marist. Rita had over 180 in my grapevine but can’t get it confirmed yet
Football wise MC did extremely well from the South Side Catholic schools as far as the top players. Some very strong players coming from the neighborhood schools.
dumb question. does each school give its own test or if you are considering multiple schools do you need to test individually at all of them?
Left it wide open for this (good thing I posted now rather than 6.00am or it would have shaved 5 or so kids from the test #s):
Southside and CCL
Both of you took my comment to the next level, remember you used the description of liars not me. I don’t think it’s that serious of thing, simply stating that when tomorrow’s numbers come out those certain schools will not be exactly accurate with it.
In my mind This has nothing to do with negative recruiting or talking bad because I don’t think it’s a big deal that schools do this. I’m not sure why they do this Do this, maybe it’s to keep morale high among faculty and alumni. I know morale was way down at BR last year when the number of testers was reported. I wish BR admin lied their asses off last year if it meant keeping morale up for the spring semester and not having teachers worried about losing their job for the following year. Like many posters on here have stated, it’s all about the number is August.
I also hope every school tests 500 kids like when I tested at BR back in the day.

How many top grade school football players is Naz getting ready to deny today?
And I think I was here agreeing with you as you whined and complained when they did it, trying to figure out how they came up with that arbitrary #. I'm not even sure how you can quantify such a thing. How much do you have to multiply an orange to make it an apple?
The funny thing is you will whine and cry because you as an apple don't want to compete against other apples. That's the most telling part about it.
I don’t want to list grade school kids names, but both Conner Lowry Award winners and 3 of the finalists.
So was Rita 153 or 171 or 185 or 203? Numbers all over the board but nothing confirmed yet. Interesting. Hearing Provy did 225 total (boys and girls)
Rice didn't post number but posted a picture of the main stands - easily can count over 235 in the pic with some of the stands missing so looks like they did get 258
JCA 188. Up 5 from last year. Good number for them. Nice group of football kids as well.
No DLS tested 185 boys. Larry 131 - Rita tested anywhere from 153 to 185 depending upon who you ask. Larry did test more boys than Provy
You can believe your very bad source if you want, just know that it is very false.
Ok so what source is wrong? DeLaSalle boys number? Larry boys number? Provy number? Rita at 185?
