Enrollment Projection RechnerFormel

## How to Project Enrollment

Enrollment projections use compound growth to estimate future student populations.

### Formula

**Projected = Current x (1 + Growth Rate)^Years**

A positive rate projects growth; a negative rate projects decline. This exponential model assumes a consistent annual rate, which is a reasonable starting point for 3-5 year projections.

For longer projections, consider demographic analysis, housing developments, and policy changes.

Lösungsbeispiel

A school with 800 students growing at 2.5% annually, projected 5 years out.

  1. Growth factor: 1 + 0.025 = 1.025
  2. Projected: 800 x 1.025^5 = 800 x 1.1314 = 905
  3. Change: 905 - 800 = 105 students
  4. Total change: (1.1314 - 1) x 100 = 13.1%
