Profiles of For-Profit Education Management Organizations: 2007-2008*

Summary
In 2007-2008 the for-profit education management industry continued to grow slowly. The number of schools managed by for-profit Education Management Organizations (EMOs) remains relatively constant. Some large and medium-size EMOs are expanding their businesses to include, in addition to school management, other education-related products and services. National Landscape The number of states in which for-profit EMOs operated declined from 31 in 20062007 to 28 in 2007-2008.
Companies Since the first Profiles report was produced for the 1997-1998 school year, the number of for-profit EMOs profiled has increased from 14 to 50, and the number of states in which EMOs are operating increased from 16 to 28. In the past year, however, the number of EMOs profiled has a net increase of only 2 companies. While the number of companies has remained relatively stable over the past few years, many of the large and medium size EMOs are expanding into new service areas, such as supplemental education services. Edison Schools experienced the largest net decrease in the number of schools it reported to managed, from 97 to 80 schools. It should be noted that in July 2008, Edison announced a name change. The new company is called Edison Learning, Inc. At the time of publication, the companys new Web site did not mention the management of public schools. Ohio-based White Hat Management experienced the largest net increase in the number of schools managed, from 38 to 54 schools.
The authors would like to recognize and thank Stephanie Evergreen for assistance with data collection, Sally Veeder for editing work, and Joe Fee and Shannon Berry for addressing technical problems that arose with the project data base.

Profiles Report: Introduction
Schools Since the first Profiles report was produced for the 1997-1998 school year, the number of schools managed by for-profit EMOs has increased from 131 to 553. In the past few year, however, the number of schools operated by EMOs has leveled off. Eighty-four percent of the 533 schools profiled are operated by large EMOs. Eighty-five percent of EMO-managed schools are charter schools, and 15 percent are district schools. The number of district schools operated by EMOs declined slightly between 2006-2007 and 2007-2008. The majority (60%) of EMO-managed schools profiled are primary schools. The number of virtual schools operated by EMOs increased to 40 in 2007-2008, which is equivalent to 8 percent of all EMO-managed schools.
Students The number of students in EMO-managed schools increased by 16,444 over the last 2 years (i.e., since the 2005-2006 school year). This means that even while the numbers of companies and the numbers of schools they operate has been leveling off, the number of students in their schools continue to grow as the average school size continues to grow. Large EMOs enroll 89 percent of all students in EMO-managed schools. Large EMOs tend to have a larger than average school enrollment than the medium- and small-size EMOs.
Introduction and Background

The EMO Industry: Background and Rationale Education management organizations, or EMOs, emerged in the early 1990s in the context of widespread interest in so-called market-based school reform proposals. Wall Street analysts coined the term EMO as an analogue to health maintenance organizations (HMOs). Proponents of EMOs claim that they will bring a much needed dose of entrepreneurial spirit and a competitive ethos to public education. Opponents worry that outsourcing to EMOs will result in already limited school resources being redirected for service fees and/or profits for another layer of administration. Opponents also have expressed concerns about public bodies relinquishing control or ownership of schools. The theory behind market-based school reform proposals is that, by being forced to compete with other schools, existing public schools will necessarily improve or cease operating. Competition under this theory generally comes in two forms: private schools, with taxpayer-funded tuition vouchers, or charter schools, which operate largely independent of the school district but have been chartered by a public entity or publicly appointed entity so that they qualify for local and state taxpayer funds in the same way as conventional district schools. In practice, voucher schools have remained a small part of
Page 2 of 185
the market-reform arena, while charter schools now account for the lions share of alternatives to traditional public schools. While faith in market competition as an effective engine of reform provides a general theoretical basis for both EMO-run district and charter public schools, the specifics of the competition are somewhat different in each instance. Adherents of market-based school reform favor charter schools in the belief that they provide competition that will force existing public schools to improve their outcomes or be put out of operation. Support for for-profit management of district schools, meanwhile, arises essentially from a belief that private business models are more efficient and effective than nonprofit, governmentoperated institutions. A for-profit company contracted to manage district public schools, it is reasoned, will have incentives (making a profit in the short term and retaining a profitable contract in the long term) to seek efficiencies and improve student outcomes and achievement. The competition, in this context, takes place not among schools or districts themselves, but among current or potential managers of schools. Defining Education Management Organizations We define an education management organization, or EMO, as an organization or firm that manages schools that receive public funds, including district and charter public schools. A contract details the terms under which executive authority to run one or more schools is given to an EMO in return for a commitment to produce measurable outcomes within a given time frame. The EMOs profiled in this report operate under the same admissions rules as regular public schools and are operated for profit. The term education management organization and the acronym EMO are most commonly used to describe these private organizations that manage public schools under contract. However, other names or labels such as education service providers are sometimes used to describe these companies. An important distinction should be made between EMOs that have executive authority over a school and service contractors that are often referred to as vendors. Vendors provide specific services for fee, such as accounting, payroll and benefits, transportation, financial and legal advice, personnel recruitment, professional development, and special education. EMOs vary on a number of dimensions, such as whether they have for-profit or nonprofit status, whether they work with charter schools or district schools or both, or whether they are a large regional or national franchise or a single-site operator. Historically, only a small portion of EMOs have been nonprofits. In recent years, however, nonprofit EMOs (sometimes referred to as CMOscharter management organizations) have expanded rapidly. The Profiles report does not track nonprofit EMOs. Also not tracked are EMOs that operate for-profit private schools, including those that may receive public funds under tuition voucher programs such as those that operate in Milwaukee, Cleveland, or the District of Columbia. (See Appendix A for definitions.) The number of schools under EMO management, school enrollment, and other data included in this report primarily are derived from company self-reports. In instances in
Page 3 of 185
which a company failed to provide information, we attempted to gather the necessary data from public sources. In these cases our data are approximations. Nearly all the EMOs are privately held companies; thus, there is no way to compel them to share information about their operations (see Appendix B for details and notes regarding the responses we received from the EMOs). Description of Data Collection and Sources of Information This 10th annual Profiles report covers data for the 2007-2008 school year. An effort is made to provide complete and current data on the numbers of EMOs, EMO-managed schools, and enrollments in the EMO-managed schools. In addition to data on the 20072008 year, the report also contains longitudinal data. Therefore, where possible and appropriate, we also have been correcting and updating past data that may have been missing or based on estimates. The nature of the industry and the lack of public information make the process of collecting and updating the data for the Profiles report difficult. Essentially, each identified for-profit EMO is sent a document with descriptive information collected about the company and its schools. Representatives of the EMO are asked to confirm and correct this information. These requests to the EMOs arrive initially by e-mail and later by fax or regular mail. Telephone calls also are used to ensure that we are identifying the correct contact person and to leave reminders to respond to requests sent by e-mail. In most cases, five contacts were attempted to solicit a response from each large and medium-size EMO. We were very pleased and grateful for the responses we received from many of the EMOs. In some cases, we received complete details regarding schools and enrollments. In other cases, the data we received from the EMOs contained only information on schools, but not enrollments. Following our efforts to collect data from the EMOs themselves, we turned to other sources to verify or fill in missing data. For data on schools and enrollments, we often used web-based sources that included state data on the status of schools (i.e., whether they are still in operation) as well as enrollments. In several states, we were able to secure enrollment data from the autumn of 2007. In a few instances, we had to rely on enrollment estimates from the previous year. Google and Lexus Nexus searches were also used to find or verify changes in the contractual status of schools operated by EMOs. Web-based searches were largely focused on those EMOs that had not responded to our requests for information. If questions remained we attempted to contact individual schools directly. Appendix E details the data collection process. The 2006-2007 Profiles report omitted data about small EMOs and the schools they operate. However, this year the Profiles report once again includes small EMOs. Small EMOs were excluded last year because they are a minor segment of the industry (5% of total enrollment) and because of the difficulty of insuring the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the information obtained.
Page 4 of 185
We recognize that the small EMOs profiled in this years report is not an exhaustive list of organizations managing 3 or fewer schools. However, it is a new starting point. Later this year we will make a focused effort to gather data on small EMOs. The results of this effort will help us decide whether or not we will include small EMOs in the 2008-2009 Profiles report. Purpose of this Report Profiles reports are comprehensive digests of data on education management organizations. Analysis and interpretation of the data in this report are, for the most part, limited to describing general trends over time. The report is intended for a broad audience. Policymakers, educators, school district officials, and school board members may use this information to learn more about current or potential contractors. Investors, persons involved in the education industry, and employees of EMOs may find it useful in tracking changes, strategizing for growth, and planning investments. Journalists and researchers who study and seek to learn more about education management organizations may also find much here to interest them.
Findings for 2007-2008

The Profiles of For-Profit Education Management Organizations: 2007-2008 is the tenth annual Profiles report. Profiled EMOs are categorized by size. Small EMOs are those operating three or fewer schools. Medium EMOs are those operating four to nine schools. Large EMOs are those operating ten or more schools. Number of Education Management Organizations Profiled Table 1 presents growth trend data for large-, medium- and small-size EMOs. Since the first Profiles report in 1999 the number of EMOs profiled has increased from 14 to 50. The number of states in which EMOs operate has grown from 16 to 28. Table 1.

Figure 1 illustrates the trends in the number of EMOs profiled over the past decade. The total number of EMO profiles in each annual report is illustrated with the solid dark line. Profiles reports have never fully captured the number of small EMOs. Small EMOs (i.e., companies that operate three or fewer schools) are more difficult to identify, andas we have learned over the yearsthey are more difficult to obtain information from.

Figure 1. Illustration of the Actual Number of Profiled EMOs by Size and the Estimated Total Number of EMOs Profiles reports from 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 did not include new small EMOs. The 2007-2008 report once again includes and updates the information about those small EMOs included in past reports and adds small EMOs identified in the course of this years research. We did not, however, engage in an exhaustive search for new small EMOs. After the 2004-2005 school year, the number of large and medium-size EMOs leveled off. It is possible that the number of small EMOs exceeds the combined total of large and medium size EMOs. Based on what we know from states like Michigan and Arizona, where most of the small-size EMOs are located, this category of company continues to increase. Our data suggest that the growth in the number of for-profit EMOs has slowed. It is important to note, however, that many of the medium and large-size EMOs have been diversifying and expanding into new service areas, such as the provision of supplemental
Page 6 of 185
education services that is less regulated and shows growth potential. Some EMOs, such as Edison, also have packaged and sold or leased their curricula, accountability, and inservice training systems. Number of Schools Managed by Education Management Organizations Table 2 displays the number of schools managed by EMOs that were profiled from the period 1998-1999 to 2007-2008. In 2007-2008, medium- and large-size EMOs managed a total of 494 schools, up from 465 in 2006-2007. However, if an estimate of Imaginemanaged schools (38) is added to the 2006-2007 total, the number of schools managed by large- and medium-size EMOs has decreased from 503 in 2006-2007 to 494 in 2007-2008. Edison Schools is largely responsible for this change, experiencing a 17 school net decrease in schools under management from 97 to 80. The biggest net increase in managed schools from 2006-2007 was for White Hat Management, which managed 38 schools in 2006-2007 and reported managing 54 schools in 2007-2008. Table 2.

To accurately interpret these numbers it is important to note that in 2006-2007 Imagine Schools Inc., the nations second largest EMO, reported that it had changed from a for-profit to a nonprofit organization. As a result the company and the estimated 38 schools it managed last year were not included in the 2006-2007 Profiles report. In researching the 2007-2008 report we learned that Imagine Schools Inc. was still operating as a for-profit company because it has not yet received IRS approval to operate as a nonprofit. Imagine Schools is, therefore, profiled in this years report. The inclusion of Imagines 43 schools in 2007-2008 bumped the total number of EMO-managed schools profiled to a new high of 533 schools. If Image Schools is excluded, the total number of schools managed by EMOs actually declined by 11 in 2007-2008. At the same time the number of students enrolled in schools managed by EMOs continues to increase, albeit more slowly as the average school size increases. Figure 2 illustrates the growth trends associated with the schools-under-management data in Table 2. Note that large EMOs predominate. Although they have added relatively few schools over the past several years, over the past decade, large EMOs have increased the number of schools under management while the aggregate number of schools managed by medium- and small-size EMOs has been relatively level.

Figure 2. Illustration of the Growth of EMOs in Terms of the Number of Schools They Operate Large EMOs (i.e., those that manage 10 or more schools) now account for 84.4 percent of all EMO-managed schools, medium size EMOs account for 8.3 percent of all EMO-operated schools and small EMOs account for an additional 7.3 percent.
With regard to the numbers of schools in operation by school type, Figure 3 illustrates that charter schools continue to account for approximately 85 percent of all EMOmanaged schools. Since 2003-2004, the number of district schools managed by EMOs has trended downward. Figure 4 contrasts the number of EMO-managed brick and mortar schools to the number of virtual

This year they accounted for 8 percent of EMO-managed schools. Because the virtual schools tend to have much larger enrollments than traditional bricks and mortar schools, the number of students they enrollas a proportion of all students in EMO-managed schoolsaccounts for 17.4 percent of all students in EMOoperated schools. With only one exception, all of the virtual schools profiled are managed by large EMOs. The exception is Pinnacle Education Inc., a medium-size EMO managing eight schools. Pinnacle was classified as a large EMO in 2006-2007. Two firms continue to dominate the virtual school industry: Connections Academy and K12 Inc. Virtual schools operate under two different governing frameworks, usually varying by state. Most are established under state charter school laws. K12s 24 schools include 22 established under charter regulations and 2 that are not. Connections Academys 12 schools include 10 charter schools and 2 noncharter public schools.

Number of Students in Schools Managed by Profiled EMOs In this section we describe current figures and overall trends in student enrollments. Large EMOs tend to have larger average school enrollments than medium or small EMOs (see Table 6). As a result, although large EMOs account for 85 percent of all EMOmanaged schools, they enroll 89 percent of all students in EMO-managed schools (see Table 4). Table 4.

2007-2008. Also displayed is the calculated student enrollment trend estimate. The estimated enrollment for the first three years is based on the number of schools and the mean enrollment in schools for 2001-2002 and 2002-2003. Each year since 2001-2002 the average school size for EMO-managed schools has increased. This fact also is taken into account when we calculate our estimated enrollments. The dip in overall enrollment in 2006-2007 is due to the exclusion of Imagine Schools Inc., which was included again in 2007-2008. The data in Table 5 display the number of EMO-managed schools and total enrollment of those schools by school type the Common Core of Data definitions were used to classify schools as either primary, middle, high, or other (see definitions in Appendix A). Sixty percent of all EMO-managed schools are at the primary level in 2007-2008 compared with 58 percent in the previous year. Table 5.

Table 6 displays the 2007-2008 average and median enrollments for EMO-operated schools, in terms of EMO size and instruction level. The data illustrate that schools run by large EMOs have a larger median enrollments than do schools operated by medium or small-sized EMOs. The data in Table 6 illustrate the predominance of the large size EMOs both in terms of the number of schools they manage and the total number of students enrolled in their schools. It also illustrates the extent to which large EMOs focus on primary schools with relatively large enrollments.

Using the 2007-2008 Profiles Report The data in the annual Profiles of For-Profit Education Management Organizations reports describe general trends in the for-profit EMO industry over time. They are intended for a broad audience including policymakers, educators, school district officials, and school board members who may use this information to learn more about current or potential contractors. Investors, persons involved in the education industry, and employees of EMOs may use Profiles reports to track changes, strategize for growth, and plan investments. Finally, Profiles reports are important resources for journalists, researchers, and anyone who seeks to study and learn about education management organizations. The appendices contain important information that will be helpful in using the Profiles report. Below is a list of appendices and a brief description of each: Appendix A contains definitions of terms and notes that will be helpful in understanding the company summaries and profiles. Appendix B contains notes on companies that failed to respond to requests for information. Appendix C contains specific notes and details regarding data sources for the company profiles. Appendix D contains a list of companies that no longer are profiled and the reason(s) why. Appendix E contains the methods for calculating national average enrollments.

Appendix E Methods for Compiling School Profiles
Compiled each year since 1998-1999, Profiles of For-Profit Education Management Organizations documents the number of for-profit firms involved in managing publicly-funded schools, identifies the schools they manage, and records the number of students those schools enroll. The Profiles report was compiled using a combination of data sources. Each identified for-profit EMO was sent a document with descriptive information collected about the company and its schools. Representatives of the EMO were asked to confirm and, if necessary, correct this information. These requests to the EMOs are initially made by e-mail and later by fax or regular mail. Companies were also telephoned when it was necessary to confirm that we had identified the correct contact person and to help prompt responses to our email requests. In most cases, five contacts were attempted to solicit a response from each large and medium-size EMO (see Appendices B & C). In some cases, we received all of the information we sought. In other instances the information returned was in some way complete. If it was not possible to obtain complete data from an EMOs, we turned to other sources to verify or to fill in any missing data. For data on schools and enrollments, we often used web-based sources that included state government data on the status of schools (i.e., whether they are still in operation) as well as enrollments. In several states, we were able to secure enrollment data from the autumn of 2007. States for which 20072008 enrollment data were available were: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina (charter schools only), and Texas. In a few instances, we had to rely on enrollment estimates from the previous year. Google and Lexus Nexus searches also were used to find or verify changes in the contractual status of schools operated by EMOs. Web-based searches were largely focused on those EMOs that had not responded to our requests for information. If questions remained we attempted to contact individual schools directly. The companies profiled represent only those Education Management Organizations which could be positively identified as for-profit management companies.
