You’re welcome, @FixItDad .
(1) The M’burg gift vaulted it into the highest ranks of endowment per student (EPS). Interesting to see what impact the $50 million NMH gift will have. NMH reports a FY24 endowment of $229 million. Add $50 million to that (I don’t think the gift is counted in there) plus some endowment gains (the S&P is up 21% since June ‘24) and you could be looking at a >$300 million endowment, which would be a $475K EPS. Transformational.
(2) Emma & Porter’s are better resourced than Salisbury & Avon (which I added for comparison). Madeira holds its own. There is a very loyal and accomplished alumnae base at the single-sex girls’ schools.
(3) The Loomis FY24 endowment of $257 million does not appear to reflect the $100 million Kravis gift. That will step it up to a $500K EPS, even before accounting for likely endowment appreciation.
(4) M’burg, Woodberry Forest, Peddie, St. Andrew’s (DE), Thacher, and St. George’s punch above their weight relative to their peers and the airtime they get on this forum. IMHO the reverse is true of Choate, St. Mark’s, Berkshire, and Kent, which are under-resourced relative to their peers and the mindshare they receive here. Not a judgment, just an observation, so please don’t shoot the messenger. These are wonderful schools. There are other schools, just as wonderful, with greater financial resources in absolute terms or relative to their student counts. That’s the story these data tell.
