Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 398 in 2018 to 441 in 2022 — over 4 years.
+10.8%
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.

For a more current snapshot, see Western Reserve Academy's own published school profile (as of 2024-25): www.wra.net/admission/school-profile ↗

Revenue upside

At tuition per student, the 60 students projected to be gained by 2027 represent ≈ $960,000/year in tuition upside.
