  • Where graduates go: #6 feeder school to Penn State. Academy-Notre Dame de Namur's own list (Class of 2026), enrolled: The Pennsylvania State University (7), Fairfield (4), Texas Christian University (4), University of Kentucky (4), University of Richmond (4). Feeder standing: #2 University of Richmond, #6 Penn State, #6 The University of Tampa, #6 Fairfield, #7 Clemson, #10 University of South Carolina (Columbia).
  • Worth asking admissions: the school profile. Reach doesn't yet show this school's SAT/ACT or AP results. Every private school produces a counselor's "school profile" for colleges, and most post it online — ask admissions for it. How a school answers says as much as the numbers.

Composed from this page's data — every claim is backed by a number in the sections below.

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.
