But some, like St. Gabriel in Milford, continue to thrive

This is one way Roman Catholic schools have adapted to life in the 21st century: Since the eighth-grade boys at St. Gabriel School in Milford can wear any tie they want with their navy-and-khaki uniforms, the girls petitioned for some individual expression, too.
Now, the eighth-grade girls at St. Gabe's can be seen wearing brightly colored, even garish, knee socks.
It's a small thing, but it's a symbol of vitality for Catholic schools, many of which are suffering from declining enrollments or even closing.
