Projected Enrollment vs Years to Project
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.
Example Calculation
A school with 800 students growing at 2.5% annually, projected 5 years out.
- 01Growth factor: 1 + 0.025 = 1.025
- 02Projected: 800 x 1.025^5 = 800 x 1.1314 = 905
- 03Change: 905 - 800 = 105 students
- 04Total change: (1.1314 - 1) x 100 = 13.1%
