Would a Catholic high school (which the kid wants to attend for other reasons -- athletics -- be inappropriate?
I anticipate that the answer is no but am really clueless.
Just curious.

If your kid was born Catholic, I would be a bit more wary than if he wasn't. The Management might deem him stray property rather than treating him tolerantly as they would a heathen non-Catholic jew or protestant. The Church can be rather proprietarial with regard to those it considers lapsed. Probably depends a lot on the school - if there is significant nun/priest presence, it might be more of an issue.
Then again, high school might be old enough for your kid to hold his own against any attempted indoctrination, particularly if he has strong opinions of his own on the matter.
