PORTER’S 5 FORCES

Rivalry – Low

  • All Public Schools in the area are all under the same management
  • The only competing schools would be private or one of the new online public schools.

Threat of New Entrants – Low

  • Even if they were to build a new public school only certain people can go in that district.
  • Any new online or private schooling would have to have big credibility behind it to see a large amount of students going to those schools. 

Threat of Substitutes – Medium

  • As mentioned above there are now more ways to homeschool children with online public schools. These are easier to create because there isn’t a building that kids have to commute to.

Power of Buyers/Suppliers – High

  • Parents have a large power over the school system if their not satisfied things may have to change.
  • Some companies donate to schools which causes makes teachers give out specific brands kids will have to buy for supplies.
