  • Where graduates go: #6 feeder school to Notre Dame. St Ignatius High School's own list (CLASSES OF 2024-2025-2026), enrolled: The Ohio State University (189), Miami University (OH) (107), University of Cincinnati (63), University of Dayton (47), John Carroll University (44).

  • 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.

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 $17,339/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 1,508 in 2018 to 1,492 in 2022 — over 4 years.
-1.1%
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 -0.3%/year, projecting from 2022's 1,492 students:

2023
1,488
2025
1,480
2027
1,472

≈ 20 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 20 students projected to be lost by 2027 represent ≈ $320,000/year in tuition at risk.

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