I will be arguing on behalf of Parish schools. There is significantly more support for Catholic schools. Their positive effects on students are evident in several areas. Students enrolled in private catholic schools are taught in a wholesome matter, addressing not only academics but also moral and religious aspects. In addition, these students score higher on standardized tests. Therefore, I feel that these parish schools are a benefit to both catholic and non-catholic communities.
