Charlotte, NC – April 21, 2026 – Jackrabbit Technologies, the leading provider of cloud-based class management software for youth activity centers, today announced the release of its 2026 Industry Benchmark Reports—the most comprehensive analysis of performance trends across dance studios, swim schools, gymnastics gyms, cheer programs, and multi-activity youth centers.

Built on four years of aggregated, anonymized data from more than 3,500 youth activity businesses worldwide, the 2026 reports deliver actionable benchmark data across enrollment and retention trends, revenue performance, operational efficiency, and staffing insights.

For owners and operators searching for ways to grow enrollment, increase retention, improve profitability, and streamline operations, these reports offer a clear roadmap backed by real performance data.

“Each year, we analyze data from youth activity centers around the world to uncover what drives success,” said Mark Mahoney, Co-Founder of Jackrabbit Technologies. “The 2026 benchmark data shows encouraging trends—stabilizing enrollment, stronger retention, and increased confidence in pricing and operations. Our mission is to help youth activity centers grow successfully without losing what makes them unique.”

2026 Benchmark Reports Key Insights:

  • Enrollment and retention trends across dance studios, swim schools, and youth activity centers
  • Revenue and pricing benchmarks to improve profitability
  • Operational efficiency metrics for scaling programs effectively
  • Workforce insights to attract and retain staff in a competitive market

The 2026 Benchmark Reports are available in three specific editions: class-based programs, swim schools, and dance studios.  Each report is delivered through a personalized, interactive experience, where business owners can compare their performance against industry benchmarks and gain tailored insights to guide decision-making.
