Closing
Despite a tuition that at $4,300 was little more than half of the rates charges by other schools in the Newark Archdiocese, falling enrollment meant that the school would have been too small to justify remaining open. After its founding in 1956, the school grew to a peak of 450 students in the 1980s, which had declined to 381 by 2000.Persaud, Vishal "Announcement St. Mary High School in Jersey City will close in June has some parents, students and staff stunned" '' The Jersey Journal'', February 9, 2011. Accessed September 2, 2011. "Parents, students and staff at St. Mary High School in Jersey City remained stunned yesterday by Monday's news that the school is closing at the end of June.... St. Mary will graduate 72 seniors in June, which would have put the school's enrollment at 93 among the remaining classes. Ten years ago, St. Mary had 381 students, Lalicato said. At its peak in the mid-1980s, the school had more than 450 students." In 2008 Sisters of St. Joseph decided to no longer financially support the school. The 2010-11 graduating class of 72 combined with enrollment of under 15 students for the upcoming school year would have put total enrollment at an unsustainably small 100 students for the 2011-12 year, which led the Archdiocese to decide to close the school.
