  • Where graduates go, as the school itself publishes it. St Francis Prep publishes where its graduates go (not stated): 235 colleges, including Boston College, Brown U. MD/BA, Carnegie Mellon U., Columbia U..
  • 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.

Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 2,460 in 2018 to 2,420 in 2022 — over 4 years.
-1.6%
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.

If the recent trend holds…

At its recent rate of -0.4%/year, projecting from 2022's 2,420 students:

2023
2,410
2025
2,390
2027
2,371

≈ 49 fewer students by 2027 — a real revenue/relevance risk worth getting ahead of.

An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.

Revenue at risk

At tuition per student, the 49 students projected to be lost by 2027 represent ≈ $784,000/year in tuition at risk.

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