Independently verified As published by Albuquerque Academy — 2024-25 Secondary School Report and Profile ↗. Found at: p.2, 'College Entrance' — 'The classes of 2021-2024 have matriculated at the following colleges and universities. (Numbers in parentheses indicate schools where.

Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 1,160 in 2018 to 1,163 in 2022 — over 4 years.

+0.3%

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.

For a more current snapshot, see Albuquerque Academy's own published school profile (as of 2024-25): www.aa.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/AASchoolPro… ↗

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 4 students projected to be gained by 2027 represent ≈ $64,000/year in tuition upside.

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