The Pittsburgh Catholic schools are crap. His “decree” forbidding Common Core was a joke largely ignored by almost all the catholic schools. Hence, the attendance is down. Meanwhile, in the North Hills there exists a private non-diocesan Catholic school that follows a classical curriculum and its booming.
If these bishops would get rid of the liberals in education and follow a classic curriculum model their schools would have waiting lists.
My kids live in mt Lebanon and their school is large enough to require multiple class rooms for most grades
There is a Catholic school, starting up in the Greensburg diocese, that will teach in the classical method. Son and wife will be moving that way, eventually. I hope they consider sending their children there.

Sorry to hear that - our Archdiocese schools are way ahead of whatever else is around. My daughter (and most of her classmates) smoked the standardized tests, and are averaging well above grade level (8th going into 9th)
