Where graduates go, as the school itself publishes it. Santa Fe Preparatory School's own list (2022-2026), enrolled: University of New Mexico (16), Colorado (9), University of Denver (8), Occidental College (7), Whitman College (6). Feeder standing: #2 University of New Mexico-Main Campus.
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.

Composed from this page's data — every claim is backed by a number in the sections below.

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.
