There is a split in demand conditions for parochials - in non-urban areas there generally are waiting lists because of a shortage of facilities, as the Church historically held little property there and has been unable to come up with the capital to build facilities to meet demand; in urban areas many schools lack applicants, particularly ones who can pay even nominal tuition, for schools that were built many decades ago, but the population they served has since departed.

That may be the case in some cities. I don't know... I do know that even the "urban" Catholic schools is Washington, DC, Montgomery Co. and Prince George's Co. have long waiting lists. In the suburbs in Fairfax, Loudon, and Prince William Counties, they're building as fast as the planning commission bozos will let them.

Nina: The 'other' new high school will be in Loudon County.
