Enrollment trend & projection
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.
For a more current snapshot, see The Rivers School's own published school profile (as of 2024-25): www.rivers.org/admission/school-profile ↗
If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +1.3%/year, projecting from 2022's 515 students:

Revenue upside
At tuition per student, the 33 students projected to be gained by 2027 represent ≈ $528,000/year in tuition upside.
