Dear Meridian City Planners:
West Ada School District has experienced significant and sustained growth in student enrollment during the last ten
years. Based on current enrollment data specific to the area surrounding this proposed development, we estimate a
development consisting of 54 single-family units and 0 multi-family units could house approximately 17 school aged
children. Approval of this application will affect enrollments at the following schools in West Ada School District.
Enrollment Capacity
Paramount Elementary School 495 725
Heritage Middle School 1050 1000
Rocky Mountain High School 1853 1800
West Ada School District supports economic growth; however, growth fosters the need for additional school capacity.
Future developments will continue to have an impact on the district’s capacity. Should a school exceed capacity, to meet
the need for additional school capacity in this area one or more of the following may need to be implemented:
Transporting students to an alternate school with available classrooms.
Attendance area adjustments if there is availability in a nearby school.
Portable classrooms placed on the property.
Passage of a bond to build new schools to fit the enrollment needs.
West Ada School District requests developers’ consideration for providing safe walkways, bike paths, and pedestrian
access for our students to schools and community resources.
Sincerely,
Miranda Carson,
Director of Transportation & Planning
