    Maariv: Christian Schools in Nazareth among best in country
Maariv: Christian Schools in Nazareth among best in country The writer starts the article by the following:

The list of schools that is before you was not assembled based upon an estimation of graduate students, even though each one has a high percentage, and is liberally seasoned with exemplary students. This list is also not assembled based upon an estimation of dropouts, even though in most of them the dropout rate is very low to non-existent.

This list is not based upon accurate sciences, although these are the “green house” schools of the educational system; high schools that kept their reputations for decades, which these days has become rare and especially sought after.

These are the high schools that if you list them on your resume, it is reasonable to assume that you will get a call back. These schools are not perfect; they also have had cases of violence, or even “immersion” of students or excessive deviations in collecting tuitions, as well as claims of elitism and discrimination, but at the end of the day – or at the end of the school year – their academic and scholastic performance have become a business card for the graduates.

Maariv then continued to mention 7 Jewish Hebrew speaking schools and that included:Riyali (Haifa),Talma Yaleen (Givatayem),Liyada in Jerusalem,Elians in Tel-Aviv, The school for art and Science in Jerusalem,Emaq Hefer schools,Pelekh in Jerusalem.
In a separate category and under the title “Church Education – Nazareth” Maariv wrote:

It is not a secret that the Arab sector suffers from discrimination regarding budgeting and considerable inequalities in the quality of instruction and in prevention of dropouts and violence. In spite of this, ecclesiastical schools, where thousands of Arab Christian and Muslim students learn, have attained a place of honor in the list of excellence.

We are talking about private schools – a fact that only emphasizes the dilapidated state of the Arab public education.

In the list of outstanding schools who have the highest number of excelling students, 3 Christian schools in Nazareth star: St. Joseph’s Eclerical in Nazareth (33.3% excel), The Nuns of St. Joseph Nazareth (30.56% excel), and the Nazareth Baptist High School (30.91% excel).

These are the leading examples among 30 ecclesiastical schools in Israel. The schools boast of quality teaching staffs who are dedicated in their individual work with each student according to his/her needs.
