Realizing the need for a development plan, La Salette of Ramon is in the process of establishing the premises upon which the plan will be laid. This paper undertook the first step towards this end. It was intended to provide the school a comprehensive grasp of its actual resources and the consequences of an uncontrolled student admission in terms of its enrollment growth and its resulting manpower, physical, instructional and financial development over the next five years. As a basis for the enrollment projection, the enrollment trends, that developed over the past five years was first established. This was used to extrapolate the enrollment of the school over the next five years. With the projected enrollment numbers and with a knowledge of its actual manpower, physical and instructional resources, the annual additional needs in these resources over the next five years was determined. The projected enrollment and the projected development needs as well as the projected inflation rate became the basis for determining the income expenses of the school over the next five years. The whole financial projection was summed up in the form of income statements. These income statements became the basis for determining the financial viability of the school in terms of its capacity to cope up with the projected development needs while not neglecting the basic operational needs of the school. The analysis was not limited to the figures presented in the income statements, for possibilities for survival were likewise explored. Three scheduling possibilities were presented under varying degrees of risk. A cost per student analysis was done to determine how much income should each student, generate to make the school financially viable over the next five years. Statistical tools used in this paper were growth rates, retention rates, and utilization rates expressed as ratios and percentages.
