Enrollment trend & projection
Total enrollment went from 836 in 2018 to
754 in 2022
— over 4 years.
-9.8%
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 -2.5%/year, projecting from 2022's 754 students:
2023
735
2025
698
2027
663
≈ 91 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.
