Where again is this data?
Yes. I believe the clarior herald provides reports. There are also online studies. There are also individual school published statistics.

That's not real data and you know it.
I don't think private schools publish performance data to the public.

The national merit semifinalists/finalists gets published. I know I've seen that before. Not sure on the other metrics.

Yep, I agree with that but it's a very narrow scope of information.

The 2016 Jesuit and Mount Carmel Valedictorians were both St. Ann grads...

bullshitee, all those schools are between 14-21k per year, which is well above the 5k tuition for Catholic grade school.
St. Andrew's is nowhere close to that. Very affordable school, much closer to the 5k mark.
"Affordable" is code word for Government Subsidized private schools. The OT would never consider sending their kids to an "Affordable" Catholic school unless they were OT light posters (i.e. poors). 5k to send your brat to school is cheap and represents a piss poor parent who doesn't value education the way a parent who pays 15-20k a year per brat does.
Do I want my five year old playing with kids who parents make 8 figures a year or one who just took out a second mortgage to pay for that F-150 extended cab with truck nuts hanging for all to see?

And I dont want my son to be an elitist prick, but often when people complain about a school being the "elitist" school, it means it is the best school. AKA Jesuit
Jesuit & Best School? Those are not synonymous terms and the answer is NO. I do not equate Jesuit with an "elitist" school at all. The best schools are Ben Franklin, Newman, Country Day, and several others but Jesuit is not on that list.

Jesuit makes country day & Newman some of the worst bang for your buck schools in the whole state

As long as you plan on staying in New Orleans it really doesn't matter where you go other than for school environment. There aren't enough white collar jobs outside of law, accounting, etc to make a difference where you go. At any given large law firm you will have graduates of every private school and every catholic school working on the same level. Only a place like Iberia Bank cares where you went. Now if you are concerned with going to a good college and permanently relocating to a city like New York or Chicago or SF, etc, schools that have the best college admissions, ie Newman, Jesuit, country day, are important.

Country Day.... 
Know quite a few alum... They use to call it Country Play.
I even know some guys that went to Rummel, Brother Martin and Holy Cross, that were accepted into their college of choice.. Can you believe that....?

If you're going to group Newman in with Ben Frankin then you have to put Lusher on that list.

Look I'm not going to argue with you about high school. There is a clear difference in Catholic high schools in the area. Any unbiased individual, even one from one of the lower performing schools, would agree with that.

What percentage of jesuit/rummel/bm grads will become doctors and lawyers? druggies?flat bill wearers? etc etc
It may have nothing to do with the actual schooling on why certain schools produce a higher percentage of said groups, but as a parent I am playing the odds that are in front of my face

Yeah, there is no standard published data for any of them. I've seen the Terranova scores from time to time from different sources.
What I know is from networking with admission directors, guidance councilors, talking to principals from high schools, etc is that certain grammar schools are def. stronger. One friend used to be a president at a high school. Other friends serve on various boards.
People network and the info flows down. These schools track kids from different grammar schools and know all the way through high school their GPA's, ACT/SAT scores, college choices. So it's not hard for educated people to figure this stuff out about what they perceive to be best for their kids.
I still can't believe that a thread about two Metairie schools is a 7 pager on the OT.

I love how ill informed the catholic crowd is. CD sends 8-10 kids a year to schools like Stanford, duke and penn, and then another ten or fifteen to schools like vandy, W&L,and Rhodes (out of 50 something). Hell, the first and only girl to graduate first in her class at West Point went there. Crazy how she managed to do that after being coddled for 14 years, right? Like every school in this city they have their share of knuckleheads too. Do you think every kid at Jesuit is a straight A student bound for Wall Street? Regardless of whether you want to accept it, the schools I named have the best college acceptance rates, hands down. Although once again, if you plan on living in New Orleans and entering its crappy job market a graduate degree will carry far more weight than either high school or college.

CD is called that because they treat you like a college student and you either go to class or you don't. They don't go looking for you. You can hang out in the middle courtyard all day if you want.

you are generally right, especially the college analogy. If you're self motivated you will do well and go to a good college. If you want to coast by, which id estimate 20 percent does, they don't really push you to get off your arse.
