ASBO New York Partner Frontline (Forecast5) Presents Monthly Data & Analytics Tip

The preliminary budget process for next school year should be well underway. A key part of that planning process is analyzing enrollment projections. From facility utilization to programing, understanding what future student enrollment will look like in the district can greatly help school officials allocate resources efficiently while meeting the needs of students. 

Frontline Data & Analytics uses a combination of Live Birth Data from the New York State Department of Health and Enrollment Records from the New York State Education Department (NYSED), to produce the annual enrollment projection. Using a Cohort Survival model, this projects future students by grade for each district and can help answer important questions like:

• What enrollment trends can we see in the district?
• Can increased knowledge of enrollment projections help the district in other areas of planning?
• What, if anything, is happening in the broader community that could impact enrollment?
