Do you think this about neighborhood Catholic schools, for example?

I do, while it might be an exception, this Jewish kid was sent to nearby catholic school by his parents for 3 and 4 grade till they moved to a better catchment.

Did going to Catholic school for grades 3 and 4 help you get into college? Would it have if you'd gone through high school? Just not sure I understand the argument that any private school gets you the same level of connections and reputation for college admissions.

I can’t say for sure obviously, but I loved going there and kept in touch with a couple of friends who both went to prestigious catholic universities.

Edit: to be clear my parents didn’t send my brother and I there because they wanted us on a college track of some kind, my brother was in several fights in our public elementary school and they pulled us out and it was the quick option I guess.
