Enrollment trend & projection
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 Georgetown Day School's own published school profile (as of 2024-25): www.gds.org/admission/school-profile ↗
