Overview
The school has seen drastic changes in enrollment over the years as schools in Toronto have suffered from the movement of many families to the suburbs. During the 1990s, after a long period of immigration to Toronto of many Catholic families, St. Patrick's had up to 1,500 students housed in the five storey school building. The student population began to dwindle in the 2000s and now stands at only 549 students. The ethnic make-up of the student population has also changed; today it is very diverse with a large number of Hispanic, White, Filipino and Black students including many from immigrant families.
During the years St. Patrick has undergone extensive renovations with the purchase of new up-to-date facilities for theatre and visual arts, physical education and construction technology.
