[quote=Anonymous]I think the most important thing to do is to gather feedback from families with a very, very open mind and a desire to hear things that are critical or negative. People will say "for high school" or "for sports" or whatever rationale is socially acceptable and doesn't offend others. They'll see what school they get into and then pick a reason that matches the school. And those reasons are true, but it doesn't mean they were perfectly satisfied with their K-8. If you really want to improve retention, you have to dig a little deeper under those reasons and find out what would make people more satisfied. Some people are always going to leave due to high school or wanting a bigger environment. But you can reduce the number of people who leave, or reduce how many other schools they apply to, which makes it more likely some of them will stay.[/quote]
