excellent position

That is what “private school” means
However, the local Catholic schools take pains to advertise they do not discriminate on basis of faith (?)

Protestant and Jewish are OK?

Of course. Generally speaking they come from the same tradition and share a common ethos. The exceptions are of course those who cherry-pick the tenets of their faith in the name of a dubious progressivism. Those who feel no remorse in engaging in homosexuality do not share in the traditional Judeo-Christian ethos. While a point may be made that it's not the child's fault, it is the parent, not the Church who is to blame here. If the tenets of the Christian ethic are not reinforced at home, a Catholic education is a waste of time.

As it is, there are parents at my children's school who are not doing their part and their kids end up being a bad influence.
