St. Agatha School is Closing
On January 9th, Saint Agatha’s School announced that it was closing its doors for good on June 30, 2017. St. Agatha’s is on 48th Street and 7th Avenue.
St. Agatha is a small school that always seemed to be forgotten about. Actually, I am surprised it is open this long. An online petition written by a parent seems to suggest that the school needs a lot of repair, but that there is also a surplus of money too. People seem to think that the Catholic Diocese is closing the school so they can rent out the building and make more money. (PS 516 is formerly Saint Michael’s School – 42nd Street and 4th Avenue)
It looks like this school is about to bite the dust like other Catholic schools in Brooklyn.
The parents started a Go Fund me Page here and a petition to keep Saint Agatha’s open.
