Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 1,011 in 2018 to 1,022 in 2022 — over 4 years.
+1.1%
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 Gilman School's own published school profile (as of 2024-25): web.archive.org/web/20240905161902/www.gilman.edu… ↗
