Enrollment trend & projection
Private school enrollment comes from the NCES Private School Universe Survey (PSS), which is collected every other year — not annually like public-school data.

If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +13.7%/year, projecting from 2022's 1,211 students:
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 1,089 students projected to be gained by 2027 represent ≈ $17,424,000/year in tuition upside.
