Joanne Jacobs summary:
New York City’s Catholic schools are closing their doors, writes Ray Domanico in City Journal. Families with children are leaving the city, and parents who might have turned to Catholic school in the past are choosing tuition-free charter schools.
A small group of Catholic high schools has learned how to survive in the new environment, he writes. Some have gone co-ed. Others have opened middle schools. But many Catholic schools “lack the resources and expertise needed for new thinking,” he writes. The archdiocese is not leading the way.
