Enrollment Projections The following enrollment projections are based on the calculation of school district enrollment projections. School district enrollment projections on performed on an individual school district using a combination of a Grade Progression model and a modified Enrollment Rate model. The Grade Progression Model is used to project enrollments for Grades 2-12. Using five years of actual enrollment data, a progression rate for each year is calculated by using a year's actual enrollment for a grade and dividing it by the previous year's actual enrollment for the next lowest grade. For example, if the Year 2 Grade 5 enrollment was 100 students and the Year 1 Grade 4 Enrollment was 102, then the Year 2 Grade 5 Progression Rate is 100/102 = 0.9804. Through a series of rules, the four calculated progression rates are combined to build a progression rate for the model. The modified Enrollment Rate model used birth data supplied by the Pennsylvania Department of Health and property market rate values by school district supplied by the Tax Equalization Division (TED) of the Department of Community and Economic Development. The data supplied from TED is combined with the data supplied by the Department of Health to determine the number of births by School District. The TED data is used to determine the distribution of households by school district for any municipalities which are split by multiple school districts. These births are used to predict the enrollment rate of Kindergarten and Grade 1 by utilizing a five year and six-year lag respectively.
