I'm not a Prin grad so just curious. Does the 534 or so show a steady trend, decreasing trend, etc. over past 5 years?
Also, with the school, I'm assuming this is for 9th-12th grade. Is this showing a downward trend? How does this translate to Prin college numbers in the future?
Somewhere above someone said the endowment is large. I guess you can have billions $, but at some point, you just lose critical mass or sustainability. Can Prin exist with 400, 300 or 200 students in future? Aren't there accredidation criteria a college has to meet, including min. enrollment numbers?
Curious
Curious, I don't track school enrollment year by year, but it's been in the low 500 range for a few years. The school numbers are for K-12. And Prin's endowment was $277 million in 2009, according US News & World Report. (The link is in post #18534.) One Principia professor said a few years ago that Prin could operate with as few as 300 students, but who knows whether it would choose to remain open.
