In connection with Maloney + Novotny LLC's continued commitment to the education sector, we have just released our annual private education benchmarking study. Our annual benchmarking study is a comprehensive analysis of financial and operational performance metrics of over 30 educational institutions. Our analysis has revealed some interesting trends from 2022 to 2023: > Enrollment has surged by 12%, recovering from declines during the pandemic and reaffirming the demand for private education. > Gross tuition revenue is up by 6%, demonstrating the increase in tuition rates and need for tuition assistance for students. > Financial aid per student has increased by 7%, confirming the need for assistance and institution's commitment to accessibility and equity in education. > The cost to educate a student has risen by 8%, underscoring the need to pursue additional funding sources or increase current tuition rates as seen above. These insights not only benchmark individual institutions against their peers but also spotlight broader trends across different educational models. Beyond the numbers, our report provides actionable insights into key performance indicators, industry benchmarks, and peer comparisons, accompanied by tailored recommendations for best practices in internal controls and financial management. Our annual report provides invaluable insight, steering strategic decisions, and promoting a culture of continuous improvement within educational institutions.
