Parker Enrollment - September 2023.pptx

Parker enrollment slides were reviewed:

• Current year is more diverse.
• Lower number of applications but would like to get back to historical high.
• Declining acceptance rate.
• Total withdrawals increasing, especially in higher grades.
• Increasing number of offers per waitlist.

Can we get data from similar schools?

Brian explained how current goals were built off data from the slides:

Long term goal is full enrollment and to be as diverse as sending districts (30%).

Current goals:

• Diversity 15% non-white
• Applications 283 applications
• Acceptance 7th/65, 8th/50, 9th/20%
• Withdrawals 35

Discussion:

Can we add withdrawal goals based on years 7-9 and 10-12?

We need to make significant investment of time and money to increase applications by 70.

Can we look at demographics locally for elementary grades to see changes in population.

Should number of applications goal be broken out by grade?

Enrollment strategies:

Niche partnership

Reviews and ratings

Social media presence and new videos from Whit focusing on student experience

Will present options to board and ask for about releasing funds to support efforts.

Nicole asked about prospective students opportunities to talk to other students.

To Dos:

• Need to work on wording for mailer.
• Explore Great Schools.
• Reach out to local realtors and determine how to list Parker as local school.
