Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 1,697 in 2018 to 1,192 in 2022 — over 4 years.
-29.8%
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.

If the recent trend holds…

At its recent rate of -8.5%/year, projecting from 2022's 1,192 students:

2023
1,091
2025

2027

≈ 425 fewer students by 2027 — a real revenue/relevance risk worth getting ahead of.

An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.

Revenue at risk

At tuition per student, the 425 students projected to be lost by 2027 represent ≈ $6,800,000/year in tuition at risk.
