Columbus Catholic High Schools

Columbus (strictly speaking) doesn't have any Div I schools. All of the Central OH Div I schools are suburban. Watterson and St. Charles are Div II, DeSales Div III, Hartley Div IV and Ready Div V.

Wouldn't we have a couple big division one catholic high schools based on the the size of the city? Cincy, Cleveland, Louisville, Indy, Pittsburgh all have them.

How come Columbus doesn't have massive D1 Catholic high schools like Cincy and Cleveland do?

The Cleveland city school system is a joke. How else can you explain having 2 monster D1's like Iggy and Ed's?

I can't answer for Cinci, but they have X, Princeton and Moeller as D1 privates that I can think of.

If the C-bus privates would merge, they would have a very good team.

Diocesan size makes the difference...

The archdiocese of Cincinnati and the archdiocese of Cleveland are more than twice the size of the diocese of Columbus in population of Catholics. The population density of Catholics in a diocese affects the size of schools as well. Watterson is the largest Catholic high school in the diocese of Columbus and its location on Cooke Rd. has a lot to do with its size. There are several large parishes and grade schools in north Columbus, Worthington, Upper Arlington, and Dublin. The size of the parishes and number of Catholic schools in these areas of Columbus are similar to many areas of metropolitan Cincinnati and Cleveland. These are factors that contribute to the difference in Catholic high school sizes around the state, I think. :oh::io:

I would say this coupled with the fact that the Catholic schools are not located near the populated suburbs, making it tougher for students to attend: Dublin would go to Watterson (on the east side of High at Henderson), Worthington and (I think) Westerville to DeSales (Karl Road), etc. Thats a long drive for students/parents.

The biggest key is, the people from Dublin can just go to.. Dublin. Arlington kids can just go to UA.. Dublin, UA, Hilliard, Westerville, Worthington, Pickerington, and Gahanna all have excellent school systems in place.

Why drop thousands in tution if you're already paying 4 grand in property taxes and for the school system - when they are just as good academically? UA is better.. as is Dublin (i think on dublin)

If they merged BWHS and DHS it would be unreal. Beat some serious ass.
