CANTON, Mass., Jan. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — School of Rock, the leader in performance-based music education, announced today that it has been named among the top 500 franchises by Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500® for the fourth consecutive year. The brand continues to hold the leading position in the children’s enrichment category. Additionally, it remains among the top 200 franchises in Franchise Business Review, marking its fifth year in this ranking.

“Consistent recognition in Entrepreneur’s and Franchise Business Review’s ranking is significant to us because it is a direct reflection of our performance as a trusted franchisor in a constantly growing and evolving global network,” said Rob Price, CEO of School of Rock. “As the backbone of our collective commitment to enriching people’s lives through music, our franchisees deserve the best resources and support possible, and we intend to continue providing just that.”

School of Rock has a network of loyal and dedicated franchisees who create safe environments and foster meaningful experiences for students to learn music. Most of the brand’s franchisees began as parents of children enrolled in the programs who experienced the benefits of School of Rock firsthand. With over 25 years of experience in business, School of Rock has developed the techniques, business processes and franchisee-centric culture that provides a blueprint for success for its franchisees.  

The Franchise 500 list by Entrepreneur and the top 200 franchises by Franchise Business Review are significant rankings in the franchise industry, providing valuable insights to prospective franchisees and small business owners with comprehensive resources to better understand franchise opportunities available. Entrepreneur’s editorial team assesses various factors such as costs and fees, size and growth, brand strength, and support to develop its rankings, while Franchise Business Review, a market research firm, focuses on independent surveys of franchisee satisfaction and employee engagement.
