• Recommendation will allow for projected growth, population shifts

and reductions in overflow

About the Data

• Dr. Jerome McKibben from McKibben

Demographics, Inc. was commissioned to forecast enrollment for 10 years using:

October 1, 2011 enrollment data 2010 Census data

Elementary data was rolled forward to project the 5th through 8th grade numbers by elementary zone so we could look at pure feeder patterns
