Question for you (us Catholics)
We're (obviously) not Catholic, but my husband went to Catholic school grades 7-12. It was a boys' school in Washington DC run by Benedictine monks, and he had a graduating class of 22. They did have some mandatory religious education/observance, but since he was already involved in another church with his family, it didn't affect him much in terms of religious belief. The one thing it may have affected, temporarily, in a couple of instances was thinking on severity of sin. For example, both Mormons and Catholics think masturbation is not a good idea. However, for Catholics it's a mortal sin, and not quite so bad for Mormons (or at least most Mormons).
Anyway, in terms of class size, individual attention etc. it was apparently great. So I would look at the totality of the circumstances before deciding one way or another. We may end up sending Magnus to private school, depending on a number of factors, and we would consider the Catholic schools (except for the best one, which is only girls) as well as the Episcopal and the non-denominational.
