The in-state tuition gap is the flagship's biggest draw — most in-state families pay far less than the out-of-state sticker. Average net price after aid runs about $22,383/yr. Admission odds depend on your student's GPA and test scores, not which high school they attend.

Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 612 in 2018 to 621 in 2022 — over 4 years.

+1.5%

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 Noble and Greenough School's own published school profile (as of 2025-26): www.nobles.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Noble-a… ↗

Revenue upside

At tuition per student, the 11 students projected to be gained by 2027 represent ≈ $176,000/year in tuition upside.
