Catholic schools, particularly high schools, are not really neighborhood schools per say except maybe in center city, urban locations. In New Jersey at least most kids who go to Catholic High Schools, even those in the old town centers, took the bus. They by there nature they attract students from well beyond a reasonable walking or even cycling distance.
However the abandonment of town center locations for virgin green fields is still a sin in the opinion of this "green faith" modeled old Catholic boy.
