JESUIT COLLEGE PREPARATORY SCHOOL OF DALLAS

What JESUIT COLLEGE PREPARATORY SCHOOL OF DALLAS does

Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas is a private, independent, all-boys Catholic college preparatory school founded in 1942 under the Society of Jesus and operated as part of the Jesuit Central and Southern Province. The institution serves approximately 1,166 students in grades 9-12 on a 34-acre campus at 12345 Inwood Road in Dallas, Texas, drawing applicants from 97 zip codes across a 1,766-square-mile radius of the DFW metroplex. Its instructional offering is anchored by 26 AP courses, a dual-credit partnership with Saint Louis University enabling students to earn over 30 college credit hours, and an 8:1 student-teacher ratio supported by a faculty in which 76% hold advanced degrees.

The school generates revenue primarily through annual tuition of $27,450 for grades 9-11 and $28,150 for seniors, supplemented by a Summer at Jesuit program serving pre-K through high school youth and a comprehensive advancement operation. Over 25% of the student body receives need-based financial aid, with average grants of $14,709 covering roughly 56% of tuition; a separate $2,500 work grant program is available to all students. The Ad Majorem capital campaign, completed in 2024, raised over $150 million across 74 planned gifts and 78 new endowments, while annual alumni phonathon contributions exceed $1.9 million. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-consumer via RangerNet (the school's admissions and family portal), with enrollment driven by campus tours, shadow days, Open House, Parent Coffees, and the Higher Achievement Program serving as a feeder pipeline.

The school's technology stack is conventional educational tooling rather than proprietary platforms: bring-your-own-device policy, a Learning Resource Center, Math Lab with StatCrunch and Geometry Sketchpad, SCOIR for college counseling, Blackbaud for tuition management, and ACTIVE Network for summer camp registration. Differentiation rests on programmatic excellence—FIRST Robotics world championship (2014), 26-year top-20 Texas debate streak, 125 National Merit Scholars in five years, 133 team state athletic championships since 1954, and a 95% AP pass rate—rather than technology moats. Notable institutional risk includes a March 2022 reconciliation settlement related to sexual abuse allegations from the 1970s-1980s that produced structural reforms and the renaming of a campus stadium.
