As reported by the Council for American Private Education (CAPE) in its latest newsletter, 57% of private school parents reported being “very satisfied” with their children’s education in February, as opposed to only 35% of public school parents, when polled by EdChoice. Get the whole story here.

CAPE also shared that enrollment in Catholic schools across the country remained steady in the 2023-24 school year despite the declining demographic of school-aged children, according to a report from the National Catholic Education Association (NCEA).

The report also dives into staff retention rates, the increasing number of students with disabilities, parental choice and more. Read the report brief.

Since Catholic schools constitute a significant portion of the country’s private schools, information is more easily collected. But much of the data reflects observable trends in all private schools.
