Real conversion at private schools in Mexico: 2.4% of leads enroll (92 Enrollment X-Rays)
Median lead-to-enrollment conversion, October 2026 edition: primary schools 3.2%, high schools 2.3%, universities 2.5%. All: 2.4%. 41% convert less than 2% and only 9% exceed 10%.
The benchmark funnel for an enrollment system is 100 leads → 80 contacted → 60 with a campus visit → 60% show up → 50% enroll: 14.4 out of every 100. The gap between the median and that number is not demand or advertising: it is the silent stretch between the first message and the signature.
Divide your new students by your leads for the year. What number do you get? Did you know it before doing the math?

Where it comes from
Conversion = new students in the last school year ÷ leads per year; plausible values only (≤ 100%). SuperLeads benchmark funnel: 100% → 80% contacted → 60% book a visit → 60% attend → 50% enroll = 14.4%. Sample: 102 Enrollment X-Rays completed between March and October 2026 with owners and directors of 102 private institutions in 69 Mexican cities. These are institutions that requested the diagnostic, not the country. Median, not average: one school with 7,000 students skews the average and makes it lie. n = 32 / 12 / 40 / 92 (primary schools, high schools, universities, all).
Median before average; no figure based on fewer than 5 institutions is published. Full methodology.
