Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 1,232 in 2018 to 1,197 in 2022 — over 4 years.
-2.8%
Why only 3 data points?

Private school enrollment comes from the NCES Private School Universe Survey (PSS), which is collected every other year — not annually like public-school data. The most recent published collection is 2021–22; NCES targeted spring 2026 for the 2023–24 release — we'll load it as soon as it's published.

If the recent trend holds…

At its recent rate of -0.7%/year, projecting from 2022's 1,197 students:

2023
1,188
2025
1,171
2027
1,155

≈ 42 fewer students by 2027 — a real revenue/relevance risk worth getting ahead of.

An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.

Revenue at risk

At tuition per student, the 42 students projected to be lost by 2027 represent ≈ $672,000/year in tuition at risk.

Tuition is an editable estimate (PSS doesn't publish tuition) — set it to your school's figure.
