Discussing the "Independent School Cost-Per-Enrollment Study"
<h3 data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Introduction</h3> <p class="">This episode of the InspirED SparkCast discusses the <strong><em>2022 Independent School Cost-Per-Enrollment Study</em></strong> produced jointly by the <a href= "https://www.enrollment.org/reports/the-2022-independent-school-cost-per-enrollment-study" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Enrollment Management Association</a> (EMA), the <a href= "https://www.nais.org/articles/pages/research/2022-independent-school-cost-per-enrollment-study/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Association of Independent Schools</a> (NAIS), and <a href= "https://www.nboa.org/net-assets/news/view/2022-independent-school-cost-per-enrollment-study-now-available" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Business Officers Association</a> (NBOA) to make informed decisions around funding and support for enrollment efforts. </p> <p class="">[Links above lead to the study. Your school must be a member of one of the organizations to be eligible for download.]</p> <p class="">This is the Executive Summary on the NAIS website.</p> <p class=""><em>Among the independent schools that participated in this research, enrollment costs were as follows:</em></p> <ul data-rte-list="default"> <li> <p class=""><em>The median cost-per-enrollment (CPE) was</em> <strong><em>$3,677</em></strong></p> </li> <li> <p class=""><em>The median cost-per-inquiry (CPI) was</em> <strong><em>$697</em></strong></p> </li> <li> <p class=""><em>The median ROI was</em> <strong><em>$7 in tuition</em></strong> <em>for each dollar spent to enroll a new student in their first year</em></p> </li> </ul> <p class=""><em>Enrollment costs varied significantly across school demographics. The largest schools (those with 700+ students) had the lowest CPE of all school groups—and saw the highest return on their investment ($8.60 in tuition for each dollar spent on enrollment management in the first year of tuition). Elementary schools had the smallest cost per enrollment ($2,869 per enrollee vs. the median $3,677 per enrollee.) The median CPE for secondary schools was $5,844.<br /> <br /> The full report contains additional data on enrollment costs sorted by school type (day/boarding), size, region, and grade levels served.</em> </p> <p class=""> </p> <p class="" data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><strong>Kevin MacNeil</strong> </p> <p class="">Kevin is the CAO and Partner of <a href= "https://metricmarketing.ca" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Metric Marketing</a>.
