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.
At its recent rate of +2.5%/year, projecting from 2022's 647 students:
2023
663
2025
697
2027
732
