Enrollment started to go down after St. Ann's grade school closed in 1968. Some of those kids from St. Ann's went to public school after they closed. In 1990 some of the reasons were a bus system that was inadequate to handle many pickups outside the city, where most of the growth was occurring at that time. The cost of tuition. In 1970 LCC tuition was $200. In 1991 the tuition was about $1600, a 743 percent increase. There were only 2 Catholic grade schools feeding into LCC compared with 4 in the 1960's.
