Another Catholic school in Broome County will be closing soon as a result of declining enrollment trends in the region.

The Catholic Schools of Broome County has announced All Saints School in Endicott will be shut down at the end of the current school year in June.

The school on Broad Street - west of Washington Avenue - serves children from preschool to grade six. Administrators did not indicate how many students are currently enrolled there.

Starting in September, All Saints students will transfer to St. James School on Main Street in Johnson City.

Another part of the Broome County school realignment will affect Seton Catholic Central on Seminary Avenue on Binghamton's West Side.

Starting in September 2026, sixth grade students will be taught at Seton Catholic Central. According to the announcement, this will create "a unified middle school experience for students from St. James and St. John the Evangelist Schools."

School faculty, staff and parents were informed of the planned changes Friday. Details were made public in a news release issued Saturday.

The announcement indicated the moves are designed "to ensure the long-term sustainability and excellence of Catholic education in Broome County."

Administrators plan to hold a meeting for All Saints School families to discuss details of the plan.

Meetings also will be scheduled for St. James, St. John the Evangelist and Seton Catholic Central families.

All Saints opened as an elementary school in September 2010 as a result of the merger of St. Joseph and Our Lady of Sorrows schools.

Declining student enrollment has resulted in the closure of several schools across the seven-county Diocese of Syracuse in the last few decades.
