The Assessment

Not a report. A guided strategic assessment.

Strategic Assessment

$2,500
Per school · Includes guided review session

A comprehensive strategic assessment specific to your school, your market, and your leadership team’s questions. We build the analysis from public financial filings, government enrollment records, and proprietary market data — then walk you through the findings in a structured review session so your team leaves with clarity, not just a document.

Six analytical domains. One strategic narrative.

The assessment tells a cohesive story about your school’s market position — not isolated data points, but connected analysis that builds toward the conversation your leadership team needs to have.

01

Local Market Profile

Population, income, housing, and school-age children trends in the ZIP codes your families come from.

02

Tuition Benchmarking

Where your tuition sits relative to comparable schools — by type, grade level, and geography.

03

Financial Health Analysis

Revenue, expenses, and margin benchmarks compared to similar schools in our database.

04

School Choice & Voucher Impact

How state-level choice programs may affect enrollment, tuition, and competition in your market.

05

Competitive Landscape

Who you're competing with, what families in your area are looking for, and where you're positioned.

06

Strategic Recommendations

Specific, data-backed priorities tailored to your school's position — not generic advice.

How We're Different

Consulting-grade analysis at a fraction of the cost.

A top-tier consulting firm charges $50,000–$150,000 and takes 90 days to deliver a strategic market assessment. The output is rigorous. The cost and timeline are prohibitive for most schools.

Most benchmarking in education goes the other direction: self-reported surveys with low response rates, limited to a single association’s member schools. You get national averages with no local context, and data that’s a year old by the time it reaches you.

Schoolhouse HQ is a third path. Our assessments are built from public financial filings, government enrollment records, published tuition schedules, and proprietary market data — specific to your school, your market, and your segment. Then we sit down with your team and walk through what it means.
