Jesuits, too. But they had hundreds of years of educational experience behind them. In NY they're shutting down Catholic schools left and right because they lose too much money.

In Philadelphia the Catholic schools are now in competition with Charter schools. It's hard to compete when a government schools ( Charters) are giving a product away for free. Private grocery stores would have a hard time of it too, if government opened free food stores. This would be true even if the government were giving away poor quality food.
