THE ENROLLMENT
EFFECT™
From Enrollment Counts to Strategic Retention
Enrollment is simultaneously a measure of public trust, a driver of state and local revenue, a determinant of staffing and program capacity, and a signal about the experiences families encounter. Yet most district enrollment reports are descriptive: they show how many students arrived or left, not why decisions developed, where preventable loss began, or which conditions leaders can change.
