  • Where graduates go, as the school itself publishes it. Stratford Academy publishes where its graduates go (Classes of 2025 & 2026): 173 colleges, including Boston College, Boston University, Cornell University, Emory University.
  • 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.

Your state's public flagship

University of Georgia

in-state tuition/yr · $31,688 out-of-state

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 $13,936/yr. Admission odds depend on your student's GPA and test scores, not which high school they attend.

Official program details ↗
Merit Zell Miller Scholarship

Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 788 in 2018 to 687 in 2022 — over 4 years.
-12.8%
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 -3.4%/year, projecting from 2022's 687 students:

2023
664
2025
620
2027
579

≈ 108 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 108 students projected to be lost by 2027 represent ≈ $1,728,000/year in tuition at risk.

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