Parkview Baptist School

Parkview Baptist School had been on a slow decline over a 12 year period. Only two of those 12 years saw an enrollment increase. The school fluctuated from a height of 1,700 students to a low of 1,250, and Superintendent Don Mayes knew the enrollment process was far too valuable to neglect.

“I was a new Superintendent at Parkview when I brought Rick to the school and I already had a good idea about what he would say,” Mayes said. “However it was his hands on support that I needed as I had my hands full with other tasks.”

Rick took an individualized approach, spending time with the Parkview team and walking them through the changes being implemented. Regularly scheduled follow-up meetings helped keep everyone on track.

“He is a valuable resource in connecting schools for beneficial collaborative efforts,” Mayes added.

For Parkview, the result of Rick’s partnership was a stabilization of and increase in enrollment. They ended the downward trend and saw an increase to 1,330 students — a growth of 6.4 percent. They believe their Admissions and Marketing departments are now more intentional, acting as catalysts for enrollment and not spending all their time “catching up.”
