parochial schools

i have been rather critical of my high school education, and today while studying for the gre i stumbled across this word and its definition (one that a study website gave me, though there are admittedly other definitions that supposedly are more appropriate to defining my high school). i thought it was amusing so i thought i'd share it. attached is a picture of what came up after googling parochial schools in iowa. i chuckled.


parochial (adj.) - narrow-minded, concerned with only local matters

the 2nd school listed (beckman high school) would fit that definition quite well. god, i love small towns.
