Assumptions:1. Capacity and Enrollment are provided by West Ada School District (WASD). Enrollment data is based on Spring '20 counts with adjustment at the elementary level to account for the new Pleasant View Elementary.2. Estimated WASD Students Generated is based on a Student Generation Rate (SGR) of 0.7 students/single family residential unit and 0.1 students/multi-family residential unit. By grade level this calculates to: Elementary SGR: 0.323; Middle SGR: 0.162; High SGR: 0.215 for single family and Elementary SGR: 0.046; Middle SGR: 0.023; High SGR: 0.031 for multi-family. This estimate does not include students in charter, private, and home schools. SGR does not vary for units with age restrictions for the purposes of this analysis.3. Growth data is analyzed only for the City of Meridian and based solely on building permits through EOY 2020; preliminary plat data is not currently included in this analysis. WASD attendance areas include portions outside of the City that may have planned growth that affects school enrollment as well.4. Dwelling Units are the additional units in a year based on the building permits that were issued in that year. This includes units with age restrictions.5. Estimated 2020 Dwelling Units is based on the assumption that the remainder of the year growth will continue at the same average it has been year to date. While City wide growth estimates are available from the City Growth Committee, area specific data is used in this analysis.6. School attendance areas analyzed are based on current WASD attendance areas at the time of analysis. Attendance areas can change anytime during or between school years.

Topic: Community Development: School Impact Table for Vicenza North Subdivision H-2020-0108

This tool provides building permit data in the areas affected by an application to enhance future planning for both the City and the School District.The table is below for your review, and it is intended as a reference, rather than a decisive,tool.
