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 412 single-family units and 0 multi-family units could house approximately
202 school aged children. Approval of this application will affect enrollments at the following schools in West Ada
School District.
Enrollment Capacity
Pleasant View Elementary School 783 625*
Star Middle School 1046 1000
Owyhee High School 1836 1800
*Program Capacity
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. Elementary students may be bussed
to the Star or East Meridian area schools due to possible enrollment caps.
• Attendance area adjustments if there is availability in a nearby school. The Long Range Planning Committee
will reconvene in September 2025 to consider needed adjustments.
• Passage of a bond may be needed in the next 5-8 years to build new schools and fit the enrollment needs.
• Portable classrooms placed on the property at the Middle or High School. Please note the option of adding a
portable is not applicable at Pleasant View Elementary due to space constraints.
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 Planning and Transportation
