Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 327 in 2020 to 305 in 2022 — over 2 years.

-6.7%

Why only 2 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.
