Principals drown in anecdotes. A short weekly metrics ritual turns noise into priorities.
1. Overall Attendance Rate (Previous Week)
Section-level drill-down highlights chronic issues before exams pile up.
2. Fee Collected vs. Scheduled (MTD)
Compares reality to plan. Pair with defaulter ageing — not just total outstanding.
3. Defaulter Count and Average Days Overdue
Trend matters more than a single number. Improving systems are covered in How to Reduce Fee Defaulters by 50% in 30 Days.
4. New Admissions Pipeline (If Mid-Year Intake)
Forms received, fees deposited, documents pending — especially relevant during admission season.
5. Communication Delivery Success Rate
Failed SMS batches are an operational risk, not an IT footnote. See WhatsApp vs SMS for School Communication.
6. Teacher Adoption Signals
Classes with missing attendance marks by 10 a.m. — nudge process before policing people.
7. Incident Follow-Ups (Optional Log)
A single place for safety or discipline items prevents things from living in inboxes only.
