History
St. Agnes was located on West End Avenue at West 87th Street. Students from all five boroughs of New York City were enrolled at St. Agnes.
The original high school building was located on East 44th Street between Lexington and Third Avenue, directly behind St. Agnes Church on 43rd Street. St. Agnes later relocated its school to the Upper West Side. The West 87th Street school closed in June 2013. The plight of the private Catholic school closures in the New York City area was covered in The New York Times, the New York Daily News, and CBS News.[2][3][4]
In 2014 the building was bought by architect/developer Cary Tamarkin to be converted into luxury housing.[5]
