  • Where graduates go, as the school itself publishes it. Cambridge School's own list (2018-2025), enrolled: UC Los Angeles (9), Baylor University, Honors College (7), Hillsdale College (7), Gordon College, Honors Program (5), UC Berkeley (5).
  • 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.

Why only 2 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.
