$10,931

in-state tuition/yr · $32,741 out-of-state

SAT 25–75 · ACT 28–33

The in-state tuition gap is the flagship's biggest draw — most in-state families pay far less than the out-of-state sticker. Average net price after aid runs about $18,784/yr. Admission odds depend on your student's GPA and test scores, not which high school they attend.

Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 691 in 2018 to 565 in 2022 — over 4 years.

-18.2%

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 Calhoun School's own published school profile (as of 2020-21): resources.finalsite.net/images/v1572569056/calhou… ↗

If the recent trend holds…

At its recent rate of -4.9%/year, projecting from 2022's 565 students:

2023

537

2025

486

2027

439

≈ 126 fewer students by 2027 — a real revenue/relevance risk worth getting ahead of.

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

Revenue at risk

At tuition per student, the 126 students projected to be lost by 2027 represent ≈ $2,016,000/year in tuition at risk.

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