Enrollment and Capacity
Capacity
Per Policy FB, by December 1 of each year, capacity formulas will be reviewed and updated for comprehensive elementary, middle, and high schools. Formulas are based on the physical number of classrooms and auxiliary spaces in a building. Planned instructional programs and staffing by school are applied to each school building to estimate program capacity.
Enrollment Projections
Ten year enrollment projections are made on an annual basis based on cohort survival method - a common practice that utilizes a historic grade progression ratio.

- 2025-26 to 2034-35 10-year Enrollment Projections
Projected Capacity Conflicts
When capacity and enrollment projections are analyzed together, we are able to document current conflicts and project where conflicts will occur. This spreadsheet is updated annually; it informs both the LRPAC and the School Board in making capital plans and decisions.
