About this listing

Germantown Academy is listed by PSS 2020 · NAIS. Its enrollment figures below come from the most recent federal Private School Survey it answered; the survey is voluntary, and the school did not respond to the latest wave. The school's own site: www.germantownacademy.net ↗

Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 1,091 in 2018 to 1,160 in 2020 — over 2 years.

+6.3%

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.
