PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE 18/19 Enrollment Analysis Presented on April 17 , 2019 Functional Capacity Updated May 2019 Condensed Version Visualizing Success
Past, Current, Future Enrollment Source: Grand Forks Public Schools and RSP SFM & Demographic Models What Does This Mean ❑ Enrollment Change – Overall enrollment increase anticipated ▪ Demographic changes in older parts of the community must be monitored ❑ Increases based on continued development opportunities and demographic change ❑ District increases by nearly 350 students (4.5%) (+0.5% to +1.4% a year) ❑ Elementary increases by about 10 students (+0.3%) (-1.7% to +1.0% a year) ❑ Middle School decreases by nearly 30 students (-1.5%) (-2.5% to +2.5% a year) ❑ High School increases by over 350 students (+14.5%) (+2.0% to +6.5% a year) 2
Student “Heat” Density ❑ Red areas depict highest density of students, Gray as lowest student density ❑ Overlapping points (2 or more students) are handled using a weighting of coincident points ❑ This analysis helps with understanding student population and geographic proximity to schools ❑ Some new areas do not necessarily lead to similar yield rates of like developments 3
Growth Areas ❑ Identifies where development activity is happening (Green) ❑ Identifies possible areas that could develop (Yellow and Purple) ❑ The market and property owners desire to build guides the timing of development ❑ Other properties not shown might develop while some shown might not develop ❑ The new lift station being planned south of 62 nd Ave SE and west of Belmont Road will allow for areas south of 62 nd Ave SE to be served for new developments at some point in the near future ❑ A key element to monitor will be how infill developments happen in the core area and how that will impact household choices where they reside 4
