A Catholic girls school in downtown Frederick says the 192-year-old institution will close June 30 due to low enrollment and rising costs.
Visitation Academy Chairman Mark Matan (MAT'-en) announced the shutdown Friday in a letter to parents.
Archdiocese of Baltimore spokesman Sean Caine says in an email that 89 students are registered for next school year. WTOP-FM reported the school's enrollment at 145 in 2012.
The school offered classes from pre-kindergarten through middle school.

guess there aren't many practicing catholics there any more!
but i'm sure the muslims could buy it and use it for one of their madras!
Catholics seemingly aren't on the upward mobility train anymore. 3rd worlders can't pay to send their kids to school.
"Free catholic school for everyone".

Past week? Embezzlement? Anything dangerous to
Our children? Board wont say theybsay he suddenly resigned HE -headmaster says he was fired!

No we are just as strong as ever, but the lawless teachers unions are stronger. Most tax paying citizens can't afford the tuition that is needed to keep the schools open. Not sure about that school, but a couple of years ago the Salisbury School was charging $14,000 per student per year.
If the liberal Democrats would allow school tax vouchers and school choice then there wouldn't be an issue and we wouldn't see this school closing. This is very sad and a sad day for America.
But to add to to your silly joke, I bet if Muslims had their own private schools Obama and the Libtards would make sure they would get a school tax voucher.

Why should we ask? Why don't you just tell us??
The property is assessed at $3.7 million.
Supply and demand at it's best.
"...If the liberal Democrats would allow school tax vouchers and school choice..."
Maybe this conservative Republican agrees with the liberal Democrats that my tax dollars should not be used to fund ANY religious institution or organization.
"...If the liberal Democrats would allow school tax vouchers and school choice..."
So your OK with your tax dollars being given to a Muslim family to send their kids to Muslim schools where they would be learning how to hate Americans?
