In my classes, they are very calm and we all sort of work together as a team to do our best. Most of the people in my classes want to bring out the best in themselves so our class-time goes down pretty efficiently.

Super jealous of your experience! That sounds like a great environment to work/learn in.

Yeah, I agree with this, in Catholic Schools, uniform policies are enforced quite strictly.

 However the students were really unkind :\. Not hating on Christians, all of the Christians I met after have been amazing and kind =) but basically anyone who was colored, i.e. not 'white' experienced a LOT of 'racism' at that school. There weren't many of us I think only 2 or 3. I certainly experienced heaps of it and it ties into the fact of why I had no friends until my senior years of high school until I changed schools where people were really accepting. I'll be honest though the things they said to me really had no effect at all because I honestly did not care at all lol. I tolerated their bullying/racism for 3 years without ever getting hurt imao, and I think that's what they hated even more...

I'm so sorry to hear that. I know that at my old school, sometimes people who were atheist would get into heated discussion with the super religious kids, but most of it was fairly respectful. The racism is really sad though. I went to a school that was 300 students (prep to year 12) and extremely Christian, but I was the only white person in my year level. In the year level above me there may have been a couple, but the majority of people were second or third-generation immigrants who still had grandparents living overseas. My best friends were from Greece, Singapore, Macedonia, China, Sri Lanka and Nigeria. It's such a shame that there wasn't such diversity at your school.

I've never been to one but I do know the Christian schools in my area need an interview and also a letter from someone in the church you and the parents go to on a regular basis. Unless you switched faith during your junior years of high school? Sorry, I've never heard of an athiest/agnostic going to a Christian school before.

My old Christian school had that requirement (the interview + letter), however, if you couldn't provide that you just had to explain why. We had many kids who were atheists from Christian families, atheists from atheist families and Muslim.
