Where graduates go, as the school itself publishes it. Washington International School's own list (2022–2025), enrolled: McGill (18), UChicago (15), Northeastern (12), Michigan (11), University of Toronto (10).
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 844 in 2018 to 847 in 2022 — over 4 years.

+0.4%

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 +0.1%/year, projecting from 2022's 847 students:

2023

848

2025

849

2027

851

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 4 students projected to be gained by 2027 represent ≈ $64,000/year in tuition upside.

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