Question for you -- do you have reliable figures on O'Connell's current enrollment? Last I checked, their website says they have 1160 students, but that was last year. That figure included 260 from the class of 2017.
There are real problems at that school, which I noted above. I wouldn't be surprised to hear of further enrollment deterioration. Their strategy to improve enrollment seems to be to beef up their sports programs, and generate interest that way. I'm sure there will be a lot of excitement after three consecutive 5-5 football seasons.
