Here in greater New Orleans, symphony musicians' kids and similar all go to CD.

The plant worker Catholics send their kids to St. Michaels. That school is very blue collar and lower-middle class. The rich send their kids to Catholic and SJA with a small portion going to Episcopal and Dunham.
They also have an incredible base of support from their alumni. I think Ferrara Fire Equipment built a few buildings on their campus

Yeah, it sounds like the writing is on the wall. I doubt many parents are going to be willing to pay 14k upfront without really knowing what the school will look like next year.

Here’s the bottom line from most parents I’ve spoken with. We all knew the school leaders weren’t great business minds. But they hid how incompetent they truly were until now, when we are way past the point of no return. Even if they somehow manage to scrape together enough to keep the school open next year, there’s no way I can see it surviving past that. There is still no plan for financial responsibility other than “promise to give us more money. We’ll do better this time.”

It's really difficult to sustain a school that had built itself upon a certain total enrollment number and then watched those numbers evaporate year over year.
Just ask Redemptorist

What options are you considering?

Prob right. Rispone and Jindal drove the final stake in Redemptorist with the ed reforms of Jindals second term.
How? I would think Central getting their own school system pulled a lot of kids from Redemptorist, plus the population shift of working-class white Catholics (whose kids now go the Catholic High and other parochial schools) away from the area. The only kids from my childrens' Catholic elementary and middle school who went to RHS were the discipline problems or the one's who couldn't get accepted anywhere else.

Lee isn't that great and is failing as a 2nd brh

Most people don't want to send their kids to a school in the hood. It's as simple as that and part of what killed Redemptorist.

This.
I don't care about McKinley's gifted program because I would never in a million years send my kids there.

Not really, but keep telling yourself this. They have some, but I would not call most kids who attend SMHS "lower middle class."

Not from what I have heard.

It's definitely a school for artsy kids. I know a few people that have their kids at Runnels. A lot of people choose it because it has no religious affiliation.
So it's for the liberal athiests, who will take their 26.1 ACT scores and get a degree in Women's Art Studies and work at Starbucks?

Is St. Michaels & Catholic High the only Catholic HS in BR?
There’s also Cristo Rey (the school that took over RHS old campus). *coughmoneygrabforthedioceasecough* if recognize them at all.
ETA: Rispone is a Redemptorist grad

This is off topic a bit, but in Donaldsonville you have Ascension Catholic, but on the other side of the River (Gonzales maybe?) there is now an Ascension Christian right? I know its a smaller school, but is this sort of the Parkview Baptist of Ascension parish?

Not trying to derail the thread, but to what degree are the finances disclosed to parents? How do you keep writing checks to some place that you already have a diminishing opinion of?

The main reasons why a kid would no longer attend private school in BR are-
1. Got into a magnet
2. Moved to Central or Zachary
3. Moved to a surrounding parish
I would add 4. Relentless increases in tuition eventually pricing a kid out... doesn't seem to have been a problem at Runnels... until now.
