  • Where graduates go, as the school itself publishes it. York Country Day School's own list (The Classes of 2015-2024), enrolled: GETTYSBURG COLLEGE (8), PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY (8), YORK COLLEGE OF PENNSYLVANIA (6), LEHIGH UNIVERSITY (5), ROCHESTER INSTITUTE OF TECH (5).
  • 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.

The in-state tuition gap is the flagship's biggest draw — most in-state families pay far less than the out-of-state sticker. Average net price after aid runs about $32,875/yr. Admission odds depend on your student's GPA and test scores, not which high school they attend.

Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 232 in 2018 to 279 in 2022 — over 4 years.
+20.3%
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 +4.7%/year, projecting from 2022's 279 students:

2023
292
2025
320
2027
351

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 72 students projected to be gained by 2027 represent ≈ $1,152,000/year in tuition upside.

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