Like a Phoenix, only weaker and flabbier.

In  Madison,Wisconsin, St Ambrose Academy is growing and is close to introducing a Grammar School within its grounds. Founded in 2003, it has grew from 20% since then.

Sounds like a great story of Catholic Schools growing? Sorry, think again. The school has only 83 people there and is expected to have 110 by next year. People this is not progress, this is stagnation and an eventual deficit that will happen in the future. If you really want real progress, think around 800-1400 and then you get the idea. Hopefully, you'll understand that such of a low number is not good enough to save ourselves from extinction.
