1. Count the number of full size classroom spaces 2. Count the number of full size classrooms used for special education 3. Subtract four classrooms used for special subjects/functions (art, music, reading specialist, guidance) 4. Subtract #2 & #3 from #1 and multiply by 21 5. Multiply #2 (special education classrooms) by 12 6. Add #4 and #5 7. Multiply by .95 efficiency factor for Capacity MIDDLE SCHOOLS 1. Count the number of full size 5th, 6th, 7th, & 8th grade classrooms and computer rooms 2. Multiply #1 by 25 for 5th & 6th grade; by 30 for 7th & 8th grade 3. Count the number of full size special education classrooms 4. Multiply #3 by 12 5. Add #2 and #4 6. Multiply by .90 efficiency factor for Capacity 7. Note: Art, music, band, gyms, science labs, and small spaces for itinerants do not count toward capacity HIGH SCHOOLS 1. Count all full size classrooms (includes art, music, computer labs) 2. Multiply #1 by 30 (staffing ratio for H.S. subjects) 3. Count the main gym as two classrooms at 30:1 ratio 4. Count the auxiliary gym as one classroom at 30:1 ratio 5. Count band room as 1.5 classrooms at 30:1 ratio 6. Count the number of CTE classrooms and multiply by 20 7. Add #2, #3, #4, #5 & #6 8. Multiply #7 by 6/7 or .86 efficiency factor. Seven teaching blocks are to be scheduled. Utilizing 6/7 of spaces allows each teacher to use her/his classroom for a planning period. 9. Identify the number of full time/full size special education classes and multiply by 12 10. Add #8 and #9 for Capacity UNIT SCHOOLS 1.

Demographics and 10 Year Enrollment Projections
This section presents the demographic analysis and 10 year enrollment projections for Maury
County Public Schools. This analysis was done by comparing US Census, ESRI Demographic
Data, enrollment history provided by Maury Count Public Schools, data provided by City
Planners in Spring Hill, Columbia and Maury County and various studies by the Metropolitan
Planning Organization.
The specific impact of future student enrollment projections on building capacities and some
recommendations to alleviate this growth are presented in Capacity and Recommendations
sections.
Historical Data and Population Trends
It is important to understand the context in which the enrollment trends occur in MCPS. In
2010 Maury County had a population of 80,891 people and is projected to have a population of
96,854 people by 2021, a 1.66% annual growth rate. The population projections shown in
(Exhibit 1) are in line with an analysis done by the Metropolitan Planning Organization that
shows Maury County growing to 114,005 people by 2035, (Exhibit 2).

A further quantitative analysis of historical enrollment data provided by MCPS shows that
between 2011 and 2016 the district’s enrollment grew by approximately 1,000 students for an
annual growth rate of 1.71% similar to the county at large. During this time the elementary tier
has seen the largest growth 10.82%, followed by high schools at 8.7% and then middle schools
at 6.41% (Exhibit 3 & 4).

Population Trends Including Planned Development
In addition to the projected growth through forecasts and cohort survival ratios there are
several developments under‐construction, totaling nearly 4,800 units (Exhibit 5), which have
been factored into the projections shown in Exhibit 6 and 7. These new developments will add
approximately 2,000 additional students to the projections for Marvin Wright ES, Spring Hill ES,
Spring Hill MS and Spring Hill HS. These additional students were determined by reviewing new
developments provided by Spring Hill, Columbia and Maury County planning department and
applying the student generation rate that is described below.
The historical plus development growth, through 2026 is expected to result in elementary
growth of 38.02%, middles schools 26.86%, and high schools 32.53% (Exhibit 6). Overall, Maury
County Public Schools is projected to have an annual growth rate of 2.8% and an enrollment of
approximately 16,310 students by 2026 (Exhibit 7).

Maury County Public Schools Student Generation Rate
The student generation rate (SGR) for Maury County = 0.33 public school students generated per each
residential unit. The SGR compares the number of dwelling units in Maury County against the number
of students attending school in Maury County Public Schools during 2016.
For the purpose of calculating the number of Elementary, Middle and High School students generated by
future development, the factor is broken by as follows by tier level:
.14 Elementary School Students per residential unit
.10 Middle School Students per residential unit
.09 High School Students per residential unit
Example: A developer proposing a new development with 100 residential units would generate a total of
33 students (100 x .33 = xx students), or 14 Elementary; 10 Middle School Students and 9 High School
Students.
The chart below further breaks down the student generation rate by different parts of the county.
In the following pages there are three maps that represent the current utilization and 10‐year utilization
by elementary, middle and high school zones. In addition, there is a page showing historical and
projected enrollment for the Maury County Public School System and historical as well as historical and
projected enrollment school by school.
