Our Mission

Working together as a team, we will end the predictive value of race, class, gender, and special capacities for our children’s success through high quality teaching and learning for all. We seek to build relationships with families and communities to ensure that every student succeeds. We will know every student.

Enrollment and Capacity

Capacity

Building capacities are calculated as outlined in Policy FB-AP: Facilities Planning. The methodology was revised in 2012. The full 2012 report on the methodology can be found here. We have also provided a two- page summary of the methodology here. Capacity calculations are informed by each school's population and programs, so they are updated as those variables change. The most recent figures are included in the spreadsheet at the bottom of this page.

Updates to the methodology were made in May 2017. Below is the full report on the changes and the presentation to the School Board:

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.

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.
