Independent, Data-Driven School Closure Analysis for Smarter Decision-Making
We understand that closing a school is one of the most difficult decisions a district will ever face. With declining enrollment, shrinking budgets, and growing competition, school leaders need accurate, transparent data to make the right call.
With unmatched expertise in school closure analysis, we have helped districts evaluate and/or close or repurpose more than 35 schools. Unlike architects or other firms with vested interests, we act as an independent, third-party consultant, providing an unbiased, fact-based approach. Our process includes capacity analysis, future enrollment projections, and financial impact studies, ensuring that school administrators have a clear, data-driven framework for making these tough decisions.
With the right data, closing a school doesn’t mean loss—it means stronger schools and smarter resource allocation.
