[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, so don't send your kid there. It's a fine school for the right kind of student. [/quote] This is a good point. From a marketplace perspective, the challenge the school faces is whether the school can continue to attract sufficient numbers of the “right kind of students”. The school is near the bottom in social mobility scores, an uncomfortable fact with a school with a huge emphasis on social justice. The school has very few Pell Grant recipients, maybe not so surprising for a private school in rural Ohio with a conservatory. Not sure what the school’s strategic plans are, but it is not in a secure place. Relying on the “right” full pay students is a fragile business model. And the rankings don’t help. [/quote]
