In this report, just released in December, we describe the results of the 2012 Re-Enrollment Survey, an instrument administered by Hanover Research on behalf of ISM. The survey, which was taken by independent schools throughout the U.S., serves as a follow-up to the National Private School Parent Survey, and is aimed at determining whether the intentions captured in the parent survey matched the “reality for schools.” In this brief, we provide an overview of the survey results and (1) describe the characteristics for survey participants; (2) report descriptive statistics of schools’ enrollment, financial aid offerings, and tuition costs for the 2011–2012 and 2012–2013 academic years; and (3) analyze the relationship between re-enrollment rates, financial aid offerings, and tuition increases.
You can find a PDF of the survey report on the ISM Web site in the Research area.
