City numbers push area Catholic grade school enrollment up

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
The number of kids going to Chicago area Catholic elementary schools inched up this year for the first time since 1965 — and turmoil within Chicago Public Schools may have helped fuel the increase.

Reversing a long-standing trend, the Archdiocese enrolled 99 more children this school year over last, for a total of 60,629 in Chicago, suburban Cook County and Lake County.
