  • Where graduates go, as the school itself publishes it. Memphis University School publishes where its graduates go (2023-26): 280 colleges, including Amherst College, Boston College, Boston University, Brown 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.

Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 631 in 2018 to 643 in 2022 — over 4 years.
+1.9%
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 +0.5%/year, projecting from 2022's 643 students:

2023
646
2025
652
2027
658

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 15 students projected to be gained by 2027 represent ≈ $240,000/year in tuition upside.

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