  • RESEARCH BRIEF Research Services
    RESEARCH BRIEF Research Services Vol. 0901 Christie Blazer, Supervisor November 2009 Dr. Terry Froman, Supervisor Dale Romanik, Director Enrollment Projections for Presentation & Discussion: 2010-11 Pupil Population Estimating Conference At A Glance The 2010-11 projected enrollment offered by Research Services represents a small increase in student enrollment. The District’s student enrollment is projected to be 341,324 in 2010-11, an increase of 0.3 percent (1,077 students) from 2009-10. A slight increase in the District’s 2009-10 student enrollment reversed a seven year decline. Research Services calculates enrollment projections on an annual basis. These projections are presented each year at the district’s Pupil Population Estimating Conference. For this year’s projections, two years of trend data (2008-09 and 2009-10) were used to project student enrollment for 2010-11. Projections are provided by individual grade level and for the district’s total Pre-K through grade 12 enrollment. METHOD The projections provided include student enrollment in grades pre-K to 12 covered by the Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP). Projections include programs such as alternative education and Exceptional Student Education (ESE). Charter schools are also included in the projections. However, non-FEFP funded enrollment such as specially funded pre-K programs (e.g., State Intervention, Title I, and Head Start), adult vocational enrollment, and students receiving McKay Scholarships are not considered in these projections. The methodology used for projecting enrollments for 2010-11 is a cohort survival technique. The cohort survival method uses the proportion of increase or decrease in enrollment between any two grades (or between years for predicting kindergarten and pre-kindergarten enrollments).

It is given in January through mid-Feb- ruary for English learner students in every grade. What are End-of-Course (EOC) exams? Similar to a final exam, these are tests given to students at the end of a course to assess their knowledge of the key concepts taught in the course. They are state assess- ments scored by an outside testing company (ACT Qual- ityCore). The tests are aligned with state and national college-readiness standards. Currently, EOC exams are required for four courses: English II, Algebra II, Biology, and U.S. History. These courses were selected because they are part of the state graduation requirements for all students. How does the EOC exam score affect the student’s course grade? The EOC exam score accounts for 20 percent of the student’s grade for the most recent term completed. When will students take the EOC exams? There are several test windows throughout the year.
