FY 2021 Educational Facilities Master Plan

WCBOE Enrollment and Capacity Analysis

The increased enrollment bubble is projected to hit the high schools starting in the fall of 2021. Much like the middle schools, the high schools are expecting a large jump in enrollment over a four year period. The projections show an increase in as many as 200 students by 2024. The graph indicates that the high schools surpassed available SRC in the fall of 2017. While 2019 experienced a decline in high school students, this is projected to increase in the coming years with enrollments as much as 300+ above the available SRC in 2024. This issue will be analyzed further in the next section.
