Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 626 in 2018 to 742 in 2022 — over 4 years.

+18.5%

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.

Revenue upside

At tuition per student, the 176 students projected to be gained by 2027 represent ≈ $2,816,000/year in tuition upside.
