Where graduates go: the #1 feeder school to West Virginia University. The Linsly School's own list (2020-24), enrolled: West Virginia University (58), Ohio State University-Main Campus (26), Ohio University-Main Campus (11), West Liberty University (10), Wheeling (8). Feeder standing: #1 West Virginia University, #8 Ohio State University (Columbus).
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.

Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 431 in 2018 to 446 in 2022 — over 4 years.

+3.5%

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 +0.9%/year, projecting from 2022's 446 students:

2027

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

Revenue upside

At tuition per student, the 19 students projected to be gained by 2027 represent ≈ $304,000/year in tuition upside.
