Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 1,131 in 2018 to 1,187 in 2022 — over 4 years.

+5.0%

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 Phillips Academy's own published school profile (as of 2026-27): d2e3a5v56wj8r4.cloudfront.net/files/SchoolProfile… ↗

Revenue upside

At tuition per student, the 74 students projected to be gained by 2027 represent ≈ $1,184,000/year in tuition upside.

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