Attendance Zone Population
Attendance zone population is the number of AISD students who live in the school’s attendance zone, whether they go to that particular school or not.
The actual attendance zone population is based on real data obtained from the student data set.
The projected attendance zone population combines the actual attendance zone population and development data.
Every year, five year projections are developed for every grade and every planning reporting area.
Membership
Membership is defined as the number of students enrolled at a school
Due to the number of transfer students, a school’s membership and its attendance zone population are usually not equal
Capacity vs. Utilization
Capacity: The number of students a school is designed to hold
Utilization: How the classrooms on a campus are being used
Measuring Capacity
Permanent capacity of an elementary school: (Number of Permanent Classrooms) X (22 Students)
This number is compared to a capacity calculated for the core facilities of the campus. The lower of the two numbers is used as the permanent capacity of the campus.
Core capacity of an elementary school: (Total Core Square Footage) X (880)/10,000)
The core facility of an 880-student elementary school should have an area 10,000 square feet.
Commonly Use Terms
Permanent Classroom -Classrooms within the building
Portable -Temporary classrooms Educational Specifications (Ed specs) -District
standards for campus programs and facilities. Core facility - cafeteria, library, gym Special use areas -special education,
multipurpose, art, music, computer lab
