Honestly, it depends on the schools. I went to a Catholic School and all of my friends went to public schools. There are both good things and bad things about Catholic school. The good things were that the classes were small, classmates grow up with each other from kindergarten through eighth grade, religion is incorporated into every subject through class discussion and other things, the children pray through out the day, and they have school masses. The not so great things were the sheltered-ness and how a couple of the teachers at my school sucked. But honestly, I think Catholic school was good for me. That's just my opinion. I felt more connected to Catholicism and God through Catholic school. It really depends on the school and what kind of relationship a family want their child to have with Catholicness, etc.

Why are Americans educated in Catholic schools usually average superior knowledge base?
I don't know if this is still true, but it used to be true for several reasons: above all, the discipline enforced by the Nuns, Sisters, Monks, Brothers, or Priests was far superior to that in the public schools. In addition, the students were more motivated and usually better behaved than the public schools. Another factor might of been that the schools themselves were more homogeneous than many public schools, the parents were paying real money and expected more of their schools, and their children. Catholic parents had to pay twice, as they were forced to pay school taxes for the public schools, and they had to pay the tuition for the Catholic school.
