| New York | 64 (1 every 11 days) |
| LA Org | 0 |
| ASHO | 3 |
| San Francisco | 4 |

Compared to the figures from mid-1969 to early 1971, this represents a decline of 95 to 100%.
2. Academy Levels
Note: In addition to the Academy Levels other courses listed include HAS (Hubbard Apprentice Scientologist — TRs 0 – IV), HQS (Hubbard Qualified Scientologist), HDC (Hubbard Dianetics Course), Superliterate (product of the Primary Rundown — word clearing & study tech), and Internships.
Monthly Academy Level completions from these same orgs over the past few years, on the other hand, average between 0 and 1, as seen in “Current Completions” below.
This is a drop of 85 to 100%.
3. Class VIs
The only yearly compilation available was from 1976.
The total: 107
ASHO Briefing Course (Class VI) Graduates from 1976
The total number of new Class VIs (not Class VI Certainty or other retreads) produced by ASHO in 2004: 6.
From 2005 to mid-2007, new Class VIs ranged a bit higher, and then went back down after the release of the Basics.
Compared to the 107 Class VIs made in 1976, these current years represents a decline of 80 to 95%.
Class VI Auditors, 1976 vs. 2004
4. Class VIIIs
The total: 252
This is just under one new Class VIII per week over a 5½-year period.
Class VIIIs made in the West U.S. from Sept. 1968 – March 1974
Total for that entire 10-year period: 5
This is an average of 1 Class VIII made every 2 years. Compared to the average of 1 Class VIII made every week in the late 1960s and early ’70s, this is a crash of over 99%.

6. Comparisons
St. Louis and the Founding Church of Washington, D.C. are shown as examples.
One point worth noting is that throughout the 1970s stats from ASHO’s The Auditor were published every 2 months per LRH policy (LRH ED 59 INT), as were the stats in most of the individual org magazines. Current org magazines, on the other hand, often publish stats which they have accumulated over a 3 to 4 month period (sometimes 6 to 8 months) and include them in one single issue, in violation of the above policy.
