Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 450 in 2018 to 463 in 2022 — over 4 years.
+2.9%
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 Belmont Hill School's own published school profile (as of 2026-27): resources.finalsite.net/images/v1785440099/belmon… ↗

If the recent trend holds…

At its recent rate of +0.7%/year, projecting from 2022's 463 students:

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 17 students projected to be gained by 2027 represent ≈ $272,000/year in tuition upside.
