Student Projections

• Projections of school enrollment (districtwide, and by census block groups and subdivisions)
  
  
• Projections of re-distribution of students within a district and changing density of built-out, mature neighborhoods
  
  
• Projections of the size of special student populations, tailored to determine needed changes in facilities or services
  
  
• Development of ratios of students per household for every major subdivision in a district in order to asses neighborhoods (currently and in the future) with low or high densities of students
  
  
• Tabulation of current student distributions and student projections by neighborhood and block-group for planning attendance zones and for planning new schools
  
  
• Comparisons of school districts with similar demographic and scholastic characteristics, designed to expedite expenditure decisions
  
  

Attendance Zone And Long Range Planning

• Site selection and timing for new schools
  
  
• Attendance zone planning and collaboration with boundary committees to realign attendance zones
  
  
• Inventory of capacities of existing facilities and programs in relation to projected facility and program needs
  
  

Participation in Facility Planning and Bond Elections

• Comparison of capacities of each existing school with projected new students per year
  
  
• Presentation of the projections methodology and capacity measurements to a bond committee, so that the timing and location of the schools can be identified and a bond election held
  
  

Mapping

• Mapping of students and mapping of critical data for visual presentations
  
  
• Aerial imagery of existing, planned, and potential development, as well as factors critical to development
  
  

Geo-Coding

• Geo-coding of students' addresses by place of residence and computer-mapping of students by grade, grade group, special education, LEP/bilingual status, gifted, etc. With this accurate mapping of students, polygons can be delineated for special program planning, as well as for attendance zones, and/or bus transportation purposes.
