A School with Declining Enrollment
2024A Boston-area independent school engaged us to investigate a significant decline in student enrollment—a concern that many independent schools are currently facing.
Finding Answers
Data Collection
To uncover the reasons behind this decline, we conducted comprehensive surveys and in-depth interviews with key stakeholders: current families, feeder schools, and educational consultants who are familiar with the school.
Analysis
Our analysis revealed several gaps—both real and perceived—in the school's offerings. These gaps were contributing factors in the enrollment drop.
Recommendations
We provided the school with a targeted action plan, which included specific areas for further exploration and discussion with the school's internal leadership team and board.
