The school tried to combine grade levels and allow self-paced advancement through the "mastery level" format, and accordingly did not require as many teachers. The students were grouped into: early years, primary, intermediate and middle. Kathleen Burt, the principal, stated that this did not attract new students even though it benefited those already at the school. 79 students were registered as students for the 2013–2014 school year, which did not happen, by the March 1, 2013 deadline. The school closed in 2013.
 * Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School (New Bedford) - It opened with grades 1–3 in 1941, with additional levels afterwards. In the 1990s it established a preschool; it was a PreK-8 school at the end of its life. It closed in 2007.

Circa 2008 its enrollment was about 266; this fell to 133 in 2018. The school closed that year. Principal Michael O’Brien stated that the state of the physical plant was one factor in the school's closure. The school did not have an elevator. In addition to the physical plant factor, the diocese also no longer wished to cover the school's expenses.
