Why CAPE Matters…
There are over 30,000 private schools in America. In fact, approximately one in four of the nation’s schools is a private school. More than 4.6 million students (nearly 10 percent of all students) attend them. CAPE member organizations represent about 80 percent of private school enrollment nationwide.
