The 2012 Official Catholic Directory, recently available, includes statistics probably collected in 2011 or earlier. My computations could be wrong, but it would seem that the 26 Catholic elementary schools in Nassau County had a total enrollment about 10,038. Whether some schools included pre-kindergarten students in the count is unclear. Also, some schools reported the same exact enrollment for three years running, an unlikely event. St. Agnes, Rockville Centre, reported the highest enrollment, 827 students.

The approximately 66 parishes in the county have religious education programs which instructed about 46,620 youngsters. The highest enrollment seems to have been at St. Rose of Lima: 2,890 students.
----
The seven Catholic high schools in Nassau County reported a total enrollment of about 8,218 students. The highest number reported is 2,553 at Kellenberg, but that may include grades 7 and 8, the Latin School.
----
The population of The Bronx is a little higher than that of Nassau County, 1,392,002 vs 1,344,436 people in the 2010 census. Bronx Catholic elementary schools enrolled 17,380 youngsters. Nassau Catholic schools taught about 10,038. Fifty-one Bronx parishes now have elementary schools. Twenty-six Nassau parishes have elementary schools. In CCD or religious education enrollment, the situation is the reverse. Bronx parishes reported about 11,271 students in religious ed. Nassau religious education enrollment figures are much greater, about 46,620.
