Measuring Success

As Butare High School for Girls rolls out, it will be critical to measure and communicate initial results. Supporters and stakeholders will receive communication and updates through a quarterly newsletter. The newsletter will portray stories of success, specialized performance reviews for donors and monthly updates on key measures of success such as the indicators on the graphs and charts below.

Benchmarks and growth targets will be set for quantifiable goals such as enrollment, graduation rates, university attendance, number of schools adopting Butare-developed lesson plans, teachers trained, technological advances, and sponsorships secured.

Initial results will be measured based on reaching attendance goals. The objective of the Butare Girls High School will only be realized if student participation is scalable. The attendance goal for the 2012 school year is 50, between 50 and 100 for 2013 and increasing to 1,200 within 5 years. The corresponding funding goals, as stated earlier, are $230,000 for 2011, $162,000 for 2012-2013, and ultimately $2,000,000 within 5 years.

True results will be measurable after the first class of girls graduate. Their academic and career paths will indicate the success of their receiving a full education. Dropout rates and causes for them will be reported as well so that modifications to curriculum, instruction and scheduling may be revised.
