	I'm stunned that Boston doesnt show up here.

	jonesjeffum:	Oct 6th, 2011 at 04:26 GMT	3 points
	Me too. Boston only has two! Cathedral and Mt. St. Joseph. Of course the metro area has more, but all the others have more in their metro areas too.

	I don't know why the source doesn't indicate this, but there are actually five Catholic high schools in the city of Boston. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_College_High_School http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral_High_School_(Boston) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Memorial_School_(West_Roxbury,_Massachusetts) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Seton_Academy_(Boston) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Saint_Joseph_Academy_(Boston,_Massachusetts)

	I have no idea how Boston isn't on this list, but @henin, you haven't exactly proved your point since one of those schools seems to be in West Roxbury. Interesting quiz, though, 5 globes.

	jonesjeffum:	Oct 6th, 2011 at 05:25 GMT	2 points
	@henin Thanks for your research. I realized that there are some towns that are part of Boston that weren't counted. Their postal address may not have Boston, but they are within Boston city limits. There are 5 in Boston.

	You can't go by just the postal address, as there are a lot of places where the postal address and city limits don't match up. Boston's already been mentioned, but Los Angeles is another big case -- there are actually 17 Catholic high schools within the city limits of Los Angeles. The schools at your source with addresses in Mission Hills, West Hills, Encino, Woodland Hills, San Pedro, Sherman Oaks, Playa del Rey, and Panorama City are all within the City of L.A.

	I think you have to alter St. Louis' ranking, because there are schools that are in St. Louis County in there, but not in the actual city. The city itself is independent from St. Louis County.

	I'm still surprised Boston isn't higher.

	dowcharger:	Oct 6th, 2011 at 18:56 GMT	1 point
	Please accept NYC

	TJL:	Oct 6th, 2011 at 21:45 GMT	2 points
	Boston makes a lot of sense, actually. Most of the Catholic schools are just outside the city in suburbs, and Boston is geographically pretty small (1/4 the size of NYC or LA)

	TJL:	Oct 6th, 2011 at 21:46 GMT	1 point
	Also, @ambition West Roxbury is a neighborhood of Boston

	save_ferris15:	Oct 6th, 2011 at 22:13 GMT	-3 points
	Boston College is a high school? What?

	save_ferris15:	Oct 6th, 2011 at 22:16 GMT	2 points
	Also, which Wilmington? I'm assuming the one in Delaware, but the NC is fairly large.

	tbh444:	Oct 6th, 2011 at 22:40 GMT	1 point
	Think that's the first time ever I've seen Delaware feature on a 'most of anything' type of quiz. Tried Wilmington quite a few times in the past (as a plan z) and at last it pays off!

	@save_ferris15, yes, Boston College High School, more known as BC High, it's in South Boston right across the street from the Boston Globe, they consistently have one of the best athletic programs in the state, sometimes the nation.

	BiloxiSean:	Oct 8th, 2011 at 14:54 GMT	1 point
	@save_ferris I assume it's the one in Delaware, because Outside of the New Orleans-Baton Rouge area and South Florida, Catholic high schools are a rarity in the South.

	Minor note, just because I am an alumni, for Omaha.. it's not Creighton, it's Creighton Prep. Creighton is the university. No one calls it just plain old Creighton HS or something like that, it's always Creighton Prep or just Prep. You can change it or not, doesn't matter just something only I would notice. :)

	Just a note: there is no Marian Catholic in Chicago. Marian Catholic is in suburban Chicago Heights. There is also a Marion Central Catholic, but that is in Woodstock, Illinois (far, far, far northwest suburbs).

	ngbshamrock:	Oct 12th, 2011 at 01:05 GMT	1 point
	At my count, Indianapolis should have 6- Cathedral, Cardinal Ritter, Brebeuf Jesuit, Bishop Chatard, Scecina, and Roncalli.

	jonesjeffum:	Oct 12th, 2011 at 02:06 GMT	1 point
	Providence Cristo Rey is number 7

	ChrisStephenHP:	Jan 2nd, 2012 at 22:48 GMT	1 point
	Excellent quiz - interesting that the number of high schools mirrors Catholic populations from about 1920 or so.
