CAMBRIDGE -- Students are getting stuck in the Catholic school carousel after a series of closures has some students bouncing around with no place to go next year.

Cambridge Matignon is the latest Catholic school to shutter its doors. They join the likes of St. Joseph's Prep and Mount Alvernia. Some students were planning to go to Matignon after St. Joseph's announced it will close at the end of the year. Those students are once again on the school hunt. Patty Hoey's son is one of those students.

"You have all these kids at St. Joe's who went through this process once, and now you are making them go through it again," questioned Hoey, "It must have been in the process. It must have been in the works already, so how did you accept kids coming into a closed school?"
