A parent's read

  • Where graduates go, as the school itself publishes it. Ursuline Academy publishes where its graduates go (Class of 2025): 25 colleges, including Boston University, Yale University, Princeton University, New York University (NYU).
  • 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.

About this listing

Ursuline Academy is listed by PSS 2018 · NAIS. Its enrollment figures below come from the most recent federal Private School Survey it answered; the survey is voluntary, and the school did not respond to the latest wave. The school's own site: www.ursuline.org ↗

Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 361 in 2018 to 139 in 2020 — over 2 years.
-61.5%
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.
