Saint Stephen of Hungary School Reviews
Before You Enroll Your Child at a Catholic School, Make Sure to Ask the Principal and Staff, "How did you get this job?
The criteria for their selection and job retention are loyalty to the archdiocese and willingness to execute the archdiocese & rsquo;s agenda by whatever cunning means necessary.
On September 20, 2020, The New York Times reported that 150 catholic schools across the country would permanently close, representing 2% of 6,583 that were operating the previous year. Twenty of those closings would be in New York. The reasons cited at the time was a long-term trend of declining enrollment and donations. Apart from pandemic-related issues, about 100 Catholic schools were closing nationally each year. In 1970, some 4.4 million students attended Catholic elementary and secondary schools; In contrast only about 1.6 million students attend Catholic schools today (WSJ).
This year, the Archdiocese of New York ;announced that another 12 schools in New York would cease functioning and four would merge into two at the end of the 2022-2023 school year, a decrease of 14 schools in addition to the twenty that closed in 2020. These closings were unexpected considering they represented a very inexpensive alternative to independent private school (St Joseph of Yorkville annual is $7,200 while The Chapin School, two block away, cost $60,000 annually plus a $2,000 computer fee and other dues). Yet, even as The Chapin School has a waiting list to get in, catholic schools are facing declining enrollment.
