Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 392 in 2018 to 424 in 2022 — over 4 years.

+8.2%

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 Lawrence Academy's own published school profile (as of 2026-27): resources.finalsite.net/images/v1756993412/lawren… ↗

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 44 students projected to be gained by 2027 represent ≈ $704,000/year in tuition upside.
