A parent's read

Where graduates go, as the school itself publishes it. Houston Academy publishes where its graduates go (within the last five years): 174 colleges, including Boston University, Carnegie Mellon University, Duke University, Emory University.
Worth asking admissions: the school profile. Reach doesn't yet show this school's SAT/ACT or AP results. Every private school produces a counselor's "school profile" for colleges, and most post it online — ask admissions for it. How a school answers says as much as the numbers.

Your state's public flagship

The University of Alabama

admit rate

$12,180

in-state tuition/yr · $34,172 out-of-state

1170–1400

SAT 25–75 · ACT 24–31

The in-state tuition gap is the flagship's biggest draw — most in-state families pay far less than the out-of-state sticker. Average net price after aid runs about $22,420/yr. Admission odds depend on your student's GPA and test scores, not which high school they attend.

Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 593 in 2018 to 666 in 2022 — over 4 years.

+12.3%

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 +2.9%/year, projecting from 2022's 666 students:

2023

686

2025

727

2027

770

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

Revenue upside

At tuition per student, the 104 students projected to be gained by 2027 represent ≈ $1,664,000/year in tuition upside.

Tuition is an editable estimate (PSS doesn't publish tuition) — set it to your school's figure.
