The Challenge
Facing a state takeover due to funding shortages, New London Public Schools desperately needed to increase revenue.
As the town is only six square miles (less than 50% of which is taxable land), the district knew that turning to surrounding counties to grow their K-12 student enrollment was the only way to make this happen.
Once they received state approval to become the first interdistrict all-magnet district, the outreach and marketing work began — but they needed a way to streamline the process and manage all of the incoming enrollment data.
The Solution
- Establish a plan to increase district enrollment numbers.
- Use a data-rich, configurable student application and lottery software for K-12, SchoolMint Enroll, to provide a streamlined process for identifying and enrolling new students.
- Guide students and families through the K-12 enrollment process using insightful data and communication.
- Monitor enrollment data in real-time to identify deficiencies and plan for future growth.
The Results
- Adoption of a data-rich, highly configurable application and lottery program to streamline the student enrollment process.
- Use detailed snapshots of all applicants as they move through the process in real time to provide informative communication and data insights.
- Conduct targeted outreach to minimize missed engagement of certain student populations and during lulls in the application process to reach as many new students and families as possible.
