Just incredibly sad that it is going to end like that. If somehow a miracle happened and an affluent group or persons endowed the school would the archdiocese go back and reserve the decision?

No one is enrolled, which is kind of the problem. Everyone talks about raising money, but they also couldn't raise enrollment.
That is correct with enrollment as the main part of the problem. With QPHS there was a freshman incoming class of 92 students the year there was a possibility of closing the school. If the report of an enrolled freshman class of 13 for SA is accurate forget it.No one is enrolled, which is kind of the problem. Everyone talks about raising money, but they also couldn't raise enrollment.
How much could tuition be reduced? Full tuition is only 6k a year. And more than 30% of student get aid.The tuition would need to be massively reduced to raise enrollment. That would require a very hefty endowment.
That's a tough tuition for most people living in Jersey City.How much could tuition be reduced? Full tuition is only 6k a year. And more than 30% of student get aid.
If there were only 13 students in the freshman class that means they collected like 60k-70k in tuition. For the amount of money they need to keep the doors open you could literally send those 13 students to pingry, the peddie school, delbarton etc. it just doesn't make sense.
Were is Saint Peters Prep. H.S. getting its students from at $16,300 tuition per year not including fees? St. Anthony's was a bargain at $6,500. Even a better bargain than QPHS and Paramus Catholic at $9,500.That's a tough tuition for most people living in Jersey City.
Many kids from the suburbs go there. Very strong loyalty from alumni. Great academic high school.Were is Saint Peters Prep.

Thanks. Goes to my point that STA does not have much of an alumni base and there are no wealthy NBA players from there any longer. Bob already did a book deal and gave everything to the school. Think there are any sales of that book any longer never mind royalties? Maybe the Showtime show will get syndicated to provide a revenue stream to the school. It was game over I am surprised it last this long.Many kids from the suburbs go there. Very strong loyalty from alumni. Great academic high school.
