Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 172 in 2020 to 238 in 2022 — over 2 years.
+38.4%
Why only 2 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 +17.6%/year, projecting from 2022's 238 students:

2023
280
2025
387
2027
536

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

Revenue upside

At tuition per student, the 298 students projected to be gained by 2027 represent ≈ $4,768,000/year in tuition upside.

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