  • All Saints Catholic Academy (Bayonne) - It was a merger of four Catholic schools and was established on July 1, 2008 in the ex-Saint Mary, Star of the Sea site.[12] The building was repurposed to house a consolidated student body, with a preschool room designated from the former kindergarten facility. It was to house students associated with the eight Catholic churches in the municipality, and the archdiocese classified it as a "Deanery school".[13] The school opened on September 3, 2008.[14] At the time of opening over 500 students attended,[15] with about 450 in grades Kindergarten through 8 and the remainder in preschool. At the time it had 22 teachers, five teaching aides, and three other employees.[13] The predecessor schools in early 2008 had a combined total of 750-800 students.[16]
    • The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark announced in September 2007 that it would combine Bayonne's four remaining Catholic elementary schools — Our Lady of Mt. Carmel (Bayonne, New Jersey), Saint Andrew, Saint Vincent and Saint Mary, Star of the Sea — into a single school in response to 10 years of declining enrollments in the schools. Sister Eileen Jude Wust was selected to serve as the school's principal.[17] In 2017 ASCA was recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School.[18]
  • Hoboken Catholic Academy (Hoboken)
    • Its students are in Hoboken and Weehawken. A consolidation of existing Catholic schools, it was formerly co-sponsored by four Hoboken churches, Our Lady of Grace, St. Ann, St. Francis, and Sts. Peter and Paul, along with St. Lawrence Church in Hoboken, before the archdiocese's Lighting the Way program changed the allocation of money for schools in the archdiocese.[19]

Union County

edit
  • The Academy of Our Lady of Peace (New Providence) - The school was once a winner of the National Blue Ribbon Award. The archdiocese spent, each year, $277,000 to fund the school. In 2020 the archdiocese announced it would close in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. In response members of the school community started a fundraising drive to try to get it to reopen, and the archdiocese announced it would reopen, with the congregation taking financial control.[20]

Former schools

edit

The archdiocese closed nine schools in the period from 1989 to 1995.[23] From 1999 to 2014 the student body decreased to only 60% of the initial total.[24] In 2005 seven schools consolidated and/or closed.[10]

From 1998 to 2008 the archdiocese closed about 25% of its schools.[25] Three more schools were shuttered and an additional seven merged in 2009. In 2010 and 2012 it closed six elementary schools each.[26] In addition, in the latter year, one high school was closed and one PK-8 school became preschool/kindergarten only.[22] The 2012 closures were influenced by the schools taking funds from their congregations while their enrollment numbers declined.[27] In 2014 the archdiocese four elementary schools, with one in each of its counties; after those closures it had 70 elementary schools remaining.[26] In 2020 it closed one high school and nine K-8 schools due to a decrease in enrollments.[28]

Circa 2008 the archdiocese considered 225 to be the minimal optimal enrollment for a K-8 school.[25]

Enrollment declined after, the following year, the church made the tuition $2,900 per year and also required each parent to raise $400. Enrollment declined even more when, in 2008, parents were now obligated to raise $900 each and tuition was raised higher, to over $3,000. In December 2007 enrollment was down to 97, and this went down further to 95 by April 2008, with fewer than 10 were Catholic; the number of students who also attend the school's parish was below 10. In December 2017 Rev. Anselm I. Nwaorgu, the pastor of Blessed Sacrament, cited the low enrollment and asked the Newark Archdiocese to allow him to close Blessed Sacrament School. The school was to close in June of that year. A charter school was scheduled to occupy its space; charter schools had been asking the church for information on its school space prior to the closure. Former Academic director Alice Terrell stated that the drop in enrollment and closure resulted from an increase in charter schools.[25]

Its building dated from 1887, and Patterson described its school building, connected to the worship building, as "a confusing warren of rooms" and "hopelessly obsolete, with a history of few renovations."[25] Patterson described the institution as one of two schools with "proud histories and fiercely loyal adherents."[25] In 2008 it had about 200 students, with fewer than 20 were Catholic, and the number of students who also attend the school's parish was below 20. Due to the number of students enrolled, Patterson stated at the time it was "not in danger" of closing.[25] In 2008 each parent was asked to raise $300 at fundraisers and the annual tuition was $2,900.[25] It closed in 2012.[22]
