Catholic schools across New York City are falling like dominoes thanks to skyrocketing tuition prices and a deteriorating connection to religion, according to experts and dismal statistics.

In just the past month alone, a shocking seven institutions announced they would be shutting their doors for good at the end of the academic year — following 13 others that fell to the same fate in the years since the pandemic, battered by overall enrollment plummeting a jaw-dropping 23%.

The newly announced closures mean 12% of the Catholic Schools that operated in the five boroughs in 2020 will no longer exist by the summer.
