Schools of Choice Analysis
The demographic forecasting is clear: Michigan is expected to continue losing K-12 students for the next two decades. If you aren’t one of the few districts experiencing an influx of new residents, stabilizing or growing enrollment might come down to simply losing fewer students to neighboring schools.
Our Schools of Choice Analysis report will show you which districts you are gaining students from, which districts and charter schools are enrolling your students, and your net enrollment position with these entities.
Additionally, the report will inform you what percentage of resident students are choosing to enroll with your district (a measure we refer to as “local capture”), how that local capture rate has changed over time, and how each grade level has been impacted by schools of choice enrollment over time.
