KASB 2017-18 Enrollment Projection Report
Carter, Ted
Kansas Association of School Boards
This report presents the findings from the Kansas Association of School Boards' (KASB's) 2017-18 Enrollment Projections for the state of Kansas as a whole, and also provides instructions on how these projections can be accessed at the district level. Findings include: (1) The projected enrollment is expected to increase 0.4 percent next year, decline from 2018-19 to 2019-20, stay steady into 2020-21, then decline approximately 0.2 percent annually through 2022-23; (2) From 2017-18 to 2022-23 there will be a decrease in the percent of students in grades K-6 and for Special Education 3 and 4-year olds, 4 year-old at risk students, and Pre-Kindergarten students; (3) The percent of students coming from small and medium districts will increase from 2017-18 to 2022-23; (4) From 2017-18 to 2022-23, the percent of students coming from KASB Regions 1, 4, and 6-9 will increase slightly, while the percent coming from Regions 2, 3, 5, and 10 will decrease. However, all of these changes are small percent changes; (5) Between 2017-18 and 2022-23, the percent of students eligible for free lunch and those eligible for full-price lunch will remain virtually the same, but the percent eligible for reduced-price lunch will decrease slightly; (6) The calculated average age of students from districts with between 5001 and 50,000 has been increasing, suggesting that these larger districts might see a decrease in enrollment in the future; and (7) Comparison of actual values to previously projected values suggest that the KASB enrollment projection calculations produce highly accurate predictions.
