Overall Growth: The enrollment shows an overall upward trend from the academic year 2021-22 to 2024-25. Starting at 1,437 in 2021-22, enrollment increased to 1,526 by 2024-25.

Stabilization in Subsequent Years: After the sharp increase in 2023-24, the growth rate slowed down significantly in 2024-25, with only a 0.39% increase. This suggests that while enrollment is still growing, the rate of growth is stabilizing or possibly plateauing.

Summary:
Resilience: Despite a slight decline in 2021-22, the institution has shown resilience with a return to growth in subsequent years.
Strong Recovery: The sharp increase in enrollment for 2023-24 indicates a strong recovery, possibly due to factors like improved programs, marketing efforts, or external circumstances that drew more students.
Future Considerations: The slight slowdown in growth in 2024-25 could prompt the institution to assess the factors influencing enrollment to maintain growth momentum or innovate in areas that attract students.
Overall, these trends suggest a positive trajectory for enrollment, with specific attention needed on sustaining growth after the peak year (2023-24).
Key Insights
Total Special Needs Students:
The increase from 39 students in 2021-2022 to 44 in 2022-2023 reflects the school’s commitment to inclusivity, as outlined in the policy’s purpose to identify and support all students with barriers to learning. However, the slight drop to 42 in 2023-2024 may indicate challenges in sustaining enrollment or support for these students, which warrants further investigation.
Success Rate:
The consistent 100% success rate in the first two years shows that the school is effectively implementing its inclusive education policy, ensuring that students with special needs can participate fully in regular classes. The slight decrease to 98% in 2023-2024 suggests a need for ongoing support and refinement of teaching practices to maintain high success rates.
Competency Rate:
The decline in competency rates from 87% in 2021-2022 to 77% in 2022-2023 may highlight areas where additional resources or targeted interventions are needed. However, the rebound to 100% in 2023-2024 indicates effective responses to these challenges. This aligns with the school’s commitment to eliminate barriers to learning, as stated in the policy.
According to the report provided by the Student Management Information System (SMIS), a total of 460 students have left the school over the past three years. Notably, the primary reason cited for this attrition is the transfer to other institutions. Interestingly, no significant mentions were made regarding personal reasons, academic performance, financial issues, or other factors.
The trend reveals a significant increase in the number of students transferring in the 2023-2024 academic year, followed by a decrease in the subsequent year. While no other reasons for attrition were reported, the data suggests that the decision to transfer is a dominant factor in student departures.
The data shows a significant increase in transfers during 2023-2024, with 193 students leaving compared to 152 the previous year. This rise may reflect specific factors affecting retention, such as changes in school programs, demographic shifts, or economic conditions leading families to relocate. In 2024-2025, transfers decreased to 115, suggesting that the school may have successfully addressed these issues.
