NYC Private School Enrollment Down at Less Competitive Schools

Nic Querolo writes in Bloomberg that NYC private school enrollment is down by 2.2% whereas suburban school enrollment and Florida school enrollment are up.

Emily Glickman, founder of Abacus Guide Educational Consulting, said she has seen her private school consulting business continue to grow with increased interest in the city’s top tier private schools, like The Dalton School. 

“More than ever, I am seeing public school families very eager to send their children to top schools,” she said. Many cite instability in meritocratic admission policies, disappointment in how public schools handled Covid and concerns about possible funding shortfalls, she added.
