A parent's read

Where graduates go, as the school itself publishes it. Winston School publishes where its graduates go (not stated): 14 colleges, including Berklee College of Music, California College of the Arts, Cal Poly Pomona, California State University San Marcos.
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.

Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 111 in 2018 to 86 in 2022 — over 4 years.

-22.5%

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 -6.2%/year, projecting from 2022's 86 students:

2027

A small or specialty program — naive trend math doesn't capture the school's full picture. Read the trend as directional, not predictive.

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