In the last 40 years of the 20th century, tuition costs at American Catholic secondary schools have increased at a rate consistently higher than cost of living increases. This unintentional dilemma has been accentuated by the disappearance of professed religious to staff the schools, and at a time when more money must be spent to keep up to date with modern technology. As Catholic secondary school budgets became excessively reliant on tuition, the burden on the average Catholic family became too heavy, resulting in the reduction of school populations, especially from families of more modest incomes.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a In the last 40 years of the 20th century, tuition costs at American Catholic secondary schools have increased at a rate consistently higher than cost of living increases. This unintentional dilemma has been accentuated by the disappearance of professed religious to staff the schools, and at a time when more money must be spent to keep up to date with modern technology. As Catholic secondary school budgets became excessively reliant on tuition, the burden on the average Catholic family became too heavy, resulting in the reduction of school populations, especially from families of more modest incomes.
520 $a Researchers Riordan and Baker claimed that Catholic high schools serve more of an elite population due to spiraling tuition costs. They claimed that this elite population was less concerned with the Catholicity of the schools and more interested in academics. Sociologist Greeley discredited their claims, stating that Catholic schools have become more diverse and are offering more financial aid to reach out to families of more modest means. Data from the National Catholic Educational Association claimed that Catholic secondary schools have maintained socioeconomic diversity while increasing racial diversity.
520 $a This study surveyed parents in 12 dioceses across the United States: parents of 8th grade students currently enrolled in parochial school, parents of 7th and 8th grade students currently enrolled in their parish's religious education but who do not attend a Catholic school, and parents of 9th grade students in Catholic high schools. Variables measured included family income, number of children, and motivations for choosing (or not choosing) to attend a Catholic secondary school. 12 Catholic high schools were asked to submit data concerning tuition, financial aid and enrollment.
520 $a Data revealed that Catholic secondary schools are serving families of high income, whereas many families who choose not to send their child to a Catholic school state that high tuition costs are the determining factor. While "strong academics" was the most popular reason for Catholic secondary school attendance, "Catholicity" and "Christian values" remain strong motivations. These schools must continue to develop new and creative ways to fund their budgets in order to maintain a socioeconomically diverse population.
