The following information is intended as a reference, rather than a decisive tool, and serves to forecast the number of school-aged children, enrolled in both public and private schools, using city-wide census data. To date and within the last five years, there have been 376 entitled units (360 single-family and 16 multi-family) approved within a 1-mile radius of the project location resulting in approximately 225 school-aged children.

This data reflects approved projects only and excludes pending applications, including the subject application.American Community Survey 5-year data is used to determine persons per household and enrollment by grades for public and private schools. 1 EXHIBIT A WEST ADA SCHOOL DISTRICT - STUDENT GENERATION RATES West Ada School District (WASD) uses a Student Generation Rate (SGR) to determine what impact future development will have on enrollments. Using WASD's SGR, the following is City staff's assessment: The SGR for Hillsdale Elementary School is 0.6 for single family and 0.2 for multi-family. Based on the submitted application materials, the proposed project will contain 71 single family units and 0 multi-family units resulting in approximately 43 school-aged children across all grade levels. Please note that the subject project area has some previous residential entitlements (that are not included in cumulative forecast reporting). The proposed project is within the following school boundaries, currently, and approval of the project may affect enrollments at these schools: School Attendance Areas 24-25' Enrollment Architectural Program Capacity Capacity Hillsdale Elementary School 768 700 675 Lake Hazel Middle School 987 1000 - Mountain View High School 2479 2175 - Notes: • Student Generation Rates are calculated in reference to the designated elementary school within the subject property's associated school attendance area. This information is intended as a reference, rather than a decisive tool. • Projects can be built in phases and full impacts not immediate. • Architectural Capacity—the capacity established at the time a school is designed based on the number of general education classrooms in the building.' 1 https://www.westada.org/page/facility-plan/ 2 EXHIBIT B WEST ADA SCHOOL DISTRICT - HISTORICAL ENROLLMENTS The following table includes historical student enrollment data for schools that may be affected by future school boundary changes: ENROLLMENT School Attendance Area 2024-2025 2023-2024 2022-2023 2021-2022 2020-2021 Cecil D Andrus Elementary School 377 406 421 464 379 Chaparral Elementary School 545 533 535 537 361 Desert Sage Elementary School 476 493 521 593 536 Discovery Elementary School 417 478 463 491 403 Eagle Elementary School of the Arts 389 344 326 295 279 Eagle Hills Elementary School 364 399 409 419 495 Frontier Elementary School 263 266 270 274 274 Hillsdale Elementary School 768 745 690 640 648 Hunter Elementary School 460 478 516 544 494 Joplin Elementary School 241 245 266 270 226 Lake Hazel Elementary School 328 348 390 405 369 Mary McPherson Elementary School 495 484 458 446 471 McMillan Elementary School 241 242 259 254 213 Meridian Elementary School 468 436 447 440 401 Paramount Elementary School 460 482 502 498 446 Pepper Ridge Elementary School 471 504 514 542 457 Peregrine Elementary School 483 454 426 469 390 Pleasant View Elementary School 747 655 616 556 365 Ponderosa Elementary School 415 434 428 464 405 Prospect Elementary School 456 495 532 543 501 River Valley Elementary School 468 475 428 453 392 Seven Oaks Elementary 534 572 580 525 306 Siena Elementary School 565 605 653 657 562 Silver Sage Elementary School 250 307 330 261 238 Star Elementary School 727 668 652 614 535 Summerwind STEM Academy 370 356 372 361 316 Ustick Elementary School 389 369 354 378 376 Willow Creek Elementary School 504 533 544 567 488 Crossroad Middle School 124 141 127 138 122 Heritage Middle School 1009 1040 1066 1049 1039 Lake Hazel Middle School 987 1018 1069 1049 929 Lewis and Clark Middle School 899 859 881 887 851 Lowell Scott Middle School 779 797 806 840 799 Meridian Middle School 961 956 1076 1095 1028 Pathways Middle School 122 128 135 151 132 3 Sawtooth Middle School 829 815 893 922 903 Star Middle School 1014 943 894 825 712 Victory Middle School 1075 1056 1047 985 875 Centennial High School 1754 1780 1941 1959 1881 Central High School 136 147 151 160 159 Idaho Fine Arts High School 260 265 265 213 199 Meridian Academy High School 183 176 171 173 185 Meridian High School 1781 1827 1785 1761 1876 Mountain View High School 2479 2537 2469 2373 2261 Owyhee High School 1887 1816 1781 1458 0 Renaissance High School 668 683 662 694 718 Rocky Mountain High School 1868 1916 1922 1984 2413 Notes: • Attendance data per Idaho Department of Education?.
