Every academy owner has a theory about why families leave. This is how you find out whether it is true.

The count: how many, and which way

The list: who they were

Operation → Stopped Students is the roll call — when they joined, when they stopped, and the remarks staff left. Look at how long they lasted, not only how many there were. Losing families at three months is a different problem from losing them at two years.

Together they identify families worth a conversation while there is still something to save.

A stop with no reason recorded is a stop you cannot learn from. If most of your stopped list has a blank reason, fix the habit before drawing any conclusions from the report.
