My stepbrother graduated from the local Catholic high school, after a lot of behavioral problems in public schools. I attended his graduation in he early 90s, and there were 12 total graduating. My stepmother still refers to this as the last small class for the school. They recently just doubled the size of the building. They also added at least one Catholic primary school as well in the past q0 years or so. I guess locally, Catholic schools must be bucking the trend.
