PREDICTORS OF ENROLLMENT CHANGE

Community characteristics Distribution of students by grade Resident births Education choice decisions Housing: type and increase by type

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Austin Public Schools’ enrollment growth in

the past four years is atypical in Minnesota White, not Hispanic, enrollment declined

while minority, especially Hispanic, enrollment increased Minority students are now 31% of the student

body District residents are less likely to chose

other education options than students statewide

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Austin Public Schools’ capture rate of district residents rose over the past ten years, which is also atypical in Minnesota

Resident births in Mower County and Austin City increased dramatically, which is a good indicator of future enrollment growth

The current grade distribution by grade predicts enrollment growth

Austin Public Schools are projected to grow

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Enrollment is projected to increase from 4,373 to 4,739 (2014-15) to 4,967 (2019-20) based on the lowest projection

Minority students will continue to be a large share of the student body and may account for nearly 40% of all students in five years

The net in migration of the past year may be an anomaly When used in projections, the

projections are high

K-12 ENROLLMENT

K-12 enrollment is 161 students higher than in 2000-01 Prior to 2005-06 enrollment declined 2005-06 was first year of all day

kindergarten Past four years, enrollment up 160

students or 3.8%

ROLE OF HOUSING Dwelling unit type affects the school age

child per household ratio Only single-family detached units have a high

yield of school age children New dwelling units yield more students

than older units As existing units turnover (sold), the school

age child per household goes down, except for the very newest units

Value of units affects school age child ratio
