Understanding Your Monthly Educator Metrics

Every month, Outschool sends you a data summary from the prior month filled with metrics about your teaching business. These numbers are designed to give you a clear picture of how your classes are performing. This guide breaks down each metric into a simplified definition so you know exactly what you’re looking at and why it matters.

📘 Enrollment Metrics

Number of Enrollments Last Month

This is simply how many total enrollments you received during the previous calendar month. Each learner enrolling in a class counts once.

Number of Enrollments YTD

This shows how many enrollments you’ve received so far this year (beginning January 1 through the end of last month). It helps you see your annual growth progress. 

*Star Educator Badge: ≥ 100 enrollments or ≥ 250 enrollment payments in the last 6 months

*Rising Star Educator Badge:>= 60 enrollments or >= 175 enrollment payments in the last 6 months

💵 Revenue Metrics

Booked Dollars Last Month

This is the total amount families paid for your classes in the previous month. Think of it as your “gross earnings” before Outschool’s service fee.

Booked Dollars YTD

This is the total amount families have paid for your classes this year (January 1 through the end of last month). It helps you track your annual financial progress.

Review Metrics

Number of Reviews Last Month

The total number of reviews (star ratings and written feedback) families submitted last month.

Number of Reviews YTD

The total number of reviews you’ve received this year (January 1 through the end of last month), excluding the current month.

Average Star Rating YTD

Your average star rating across all reviews received this year through the end of last month.

🕒 Attendance & Tardiness Metrics

Attendance Rate Last Month

This shows how often you were present for your scheduled classes last month. A higher percentage means you showed up consistently.

Tardiness Rate Last Month

This measures how often you arrived 5+ minutes late to class. A lower percentage is better.

🔁 Returning Learner Metrics

Re-Enrollment Rate 30d

Of the learners who took their first class with you in the last 30 days, this shows what percentage signed up for another class with you within that same 30-day window.

Re-Enrollment Rate 90d

Similar to the 30-day version, but over a 90-day period.

Re-Purchase Rate

This looks at payments, not enrollments. It shows the percentage of learners who paid you more than once — meaning they purchased from you again after their first payment.

💬 Messaging Metrics

Message Response Rate Last Month

This shows how many message threads you replied to last month. Higher indicates strong communication.

Message Response Rate YTD

The percentage of message threads you’ve responded to this year through last month.

This shows how many threads you responded to within 24 hours last month.

Message 24hr Response Rate YTD
