Independently verified As published by Kent School — Kent School Profile 2025-2026 ↗. Found at: p.4, list titled 'College Matriculations 2023-2025' (title prints below the list in the page layout, per PyMuPDF text-extraction order).

Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 586 in 2018 to 504 in 2022 — over 4 years.

-14.0%

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 Kent School's own published school profile (as of 2025-26): veracross-files.s3.amazonaws.com/kent/161734/Kent… ↗

If the recent trend holds…

At its recent rate of -3.7%/year, projecting from 2022's 504 students:

2023

485

2025

450

2027

417

≈ 87 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 87 students projected to be lost by 2027 represent ≈ $1,392,000/year in tuition at risk.

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