EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2015-16 ENROLLMENT ANALYSIS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Newton Public Schools system-wide enrollment is stable this year after ten consecutive years of rising enrollments with 1,240 students (11%) added from 2004 to 2015. The initial years of growth from 2004 – 2009 brought 339 students to the system. The next four years up to 2014, when the steepest growth occurred, added another 834 students to the district, followed by the addition of 62 students in 2014. Current 2015-16 total enrollment of 12,508 students has risen by five students since last year, with growth of 1% occurring at the secondary level offset by lower enrollment at the elementary level. The district is expected to increase by an additional 393 students (3%) over the next five years, with growth at the secondary schools and a leveling of enrollment at the elementary schools.
The robust five-year growth trend in the district’s kindergarten enrollment has paused this year. With a current kindergarten population of 877 students instead of the higher classes of 934, 958 and 938 students that occurred in the last three years respectively, the elementary population overall is seeing a decrease for the first time since 2004. On average this year, grades within elementary schools have an enrollment of 964 students, with a first grade over 1,000 students. The elementary level is expected to have two grades with over 1,000 students in 2017 and 2018. This year, all elementary cohorts except kindergarten to grade 1 are stable, indicating that movement of families into the district is equal to movement out of the district. From kindergarten to grade 1, there is growth in the number of students as has been Newton’s experience for decades. Often, grades 2 through 4 also have positive cohort growth, but this has not been the case for the past two years. As a result, there is a slower rate of elementary growth overall.
The middle schools have grown by 365 students (15%) from 2007-08 to the present; classes were on average 818 students in 2007 and today classes average 939 students. Although middle school growth has experienced a two year slow down, the overall growth trend remains strong, with an additional 181 middle school students expected over the next five years. The high school growth trend that began in 2012-13 has resulted in an additional 337 students. Last year’s class of 921 eighth graders has grown to a class of 945 grade nine students which is close to the average grade size of 950 students at the high schools. Strong growth at the secondary level is the result of movement through the system of the earlier elementary growth, with the high schools currently experiencing the most of this impact. Over the next five years, growth of 207 students (5%) is expected.
This school year is again a strong enrollment year for students currently enrolled as English Language Learners (ELL), with a reduction from a peak of 911 students in 2013 and a decrease of 48 students from last year, but with growth of 305 students (58%) over ten years. There are 827 ELL students in 2015-16; ten percent of elementary students are English Learners. The percentage of students with identified special needs is stable at 19.2% this year versus 19.1% in 2014.
Current enrollment of 12,508 is 175 students below the projection made in November 2014, a system-wide variance from projection of -1.4%. In recent years, system-wide variances have been under 1%. In the past 15 years, Newton has had six negative variances when actual enrollment has been lower than projected enrollment. More commonly in this time period, the
- i -
actual enrollment has been higher than the projection. This year, by grade level, the difference from expected enrollment is made up of 74 fewer elementary school students, 34 fewer middle school students and 67 fewer high school students. The grade levels each varied from projection fairly evenly by -1.3%, -1.2% and -1.7% respectively. First grade, however, exceeded growth projections by 2.7% and will be a strong component of ongoing enrollment growth. Kindergarten growth was lower than expected by -4.9% and ninth grade growth was lower than expected by -3.9%.
This report details changes in enrollments by school since last year. It reviews current enrollments as compared with the November 2014 projections, and projects enrollments using five-year historical data considered in the context of local trends in real estate sales, new development, student mobility, birth data, census data, housing trends and other factors. Changes to Newton Public Schools elementary student assignment policies were approved in September 2015 and are fully integrated into the five-year projections contained in this report. Actual 2015-16 enrollments presented in this report have changed slightly from the Preliminary Enrollment Report of October 13, 2015, with a net decrease of ten students.
Future Enrollment The traditional cohort survival method of enrollment projections using five-year historical data yields the projections for grades 1 through 12 on the following chart. The 2016-17 kindergarten projection has been calculated using an adjusted straight five-year average of previous kindergarten enrollments. This is the same basic methodology that has been used since 2013. The prior methodology, which used city census data on four year olds as part of the projection, yields kindergarten projections that, at below 800 students, are likely too low. See Section II entitled Enrollment Projection Method for more information and discussion of the full methodology used in this year’s forecast.
The following graph is a representation of more than 30 years of enrollment in the Newton Public Schools, from 1988 to 2015, including projections from 2016 through 2020. The graph illustrates the trend of sustained increases during the 1990’s, then a six-year period of stability, followed by the growth trend over the past ten years and the projected growth trend for five additional years.

Elementary Projections
Elementary enrollment is expected to increase from 5,785 students to 5,787 students next year, an increase of 2 students, with a peak of 5,859 students in 2018. Since 2003-04, the population has grown by a total of 847 students, or 17%. Enrollment projections are dependent on current student counts and trends from past years. Today’s kindergarten enrollment of 877 students is the lowest of the past five years which included three of the highest kindergarten classes on record in forty years. The average size of the kindergarten classes over the prior three years was 943 students and this year the average is reduced to 924 students; the five year average of kindergarten classes is 920 students. Please refer to Section II for the kindergarten projection methodology which explains the use of birth data and city census data for children aged 3 to 5 years to understand kindergarten projections.
Refer to Section IV, Individual School Reports, for the elementary school projections by grade and by school and other enrollment details. Several schools will see the impact of the student assignment changes approved this September 2015 in the projections for the next five years. Angier and Zervas are projected to have increased enrollments as the new schools with expanded capacity accept students from crowded schools where enrollment consequently is projected to decrease. These schools include: Bowen, Burr, Countryside, Mason-Rice and Ward. Williams continues to project increased enrollment, though not as high as enrollment would have been prior to the student reassignment process. Of the schools not part of the recent student assignment review, the largest increases over the next five years are projected at Memorial-Spaulding (+31 students, or +7%), Franklin (+18 students, or +5%), and Lincoln-Eliot (+14 students, or +4%). Cabot had a smaller than expected kindergarten class this year and is projected to decrease by 36 students over the next five years. Cabot enrollment will be evaluated during the second phase of student assignment review that will focus on both Cabot and Lincoln-Eliot.
Appendix B, Table 6 lists student enrollment in buffer zones by school for this school year and last. The use of buffer zones is an effective way to ameliorate space constraints at the elementary schools. Since 2011, buffer zones have been used by school administration to determine space availability requests between the schools in the district. Once a student from a buffer zone is placed in a school, he/she will follow the same feeder pattern as peers in that school. Table 6 displays each buffer zone and, for more recently created zones, notes the year the zone was developed. Buffer zone changes in 2015-16 that resulted from the newly approved student assignment policy are clearly marked. Buffer zones that were eliminated as part of that process are also clearly marked. Due to timing, Table 6 does not display all of the buffer zones established as a precursor to the permanent student assignment changes made for Zervas. Those buffer zones were put into place in May 2015 to manage enrollment that could result from students moving in over the summer; there were three students moving into these areas and placed at Zervas over the summer.
Secondary Projections
Middle school enrollment increased by 12 students in 2015-16, and is projected to increase next year by 20 students. Over the next five years, middle school enrollment is projected to grow by an additional 181 students to 2,999 students, an increase of 6%. In 2020, grades 6 and 7 are both projected to be over 1,000 students.

This year’s high school enrollment of 3,905 students has grown by 41 students since last year and is expected to increase for the next five years as the larger elementary and middle school populations move to high school. By 2020-21, a net increase of 207 high school students is expected. Both high schools will increase over the next five years; enrollment projections show Newton North High School will increase by 126 students, or +6% and Newton South High School will increase by 81 students, or +5%. The difference in enrollment between the two high schools is expected to be more than 300 students over the next five years. Secondary data showing past, present and projected enrollments are presented in Table 9.
National, State and Local Trends
Although the U.S. Census Bureau continues to rank Massachusetts very low in expected school age population growth from 2000-2030, Newton’s enrollment projections and those of other communities near Boston are not typical of Massachusetts; enrollment in the Newton Public Schools and in most nearby districts continues to increase. The chart below shows the status of district enrollments over the most recent available six-year time period from 2009-10 to 2015-16 for ten communities, including Newton, with the largest absolute and percentage growth in Brookline, followed by Belmont and Lexington on a percentage basis.
Since the 2000 United States Census, the population of the City of Newton has increased by 1,300 residents, growing to over 85,000. The updated population reflects the official 2010 Census released by the United States Census Bureau in April 2011.1 Appendix C, Table 7 compares City of Newton data from the 2010 United States Census to the 2000 United States Census by age range; the 1990 Census is also shown.
On a national and regional level, the 2010 Census reported 308.7 million people in the United States, a 10% increase from the 2000 Census population of 281.4 million as compared to ten year population growth of only 2% in Newton and 3% statewide. The national increase of 10% over the last decade was lower than the 13% increase of the 1990’s and is similar to the magnitude of growth in the 1980’s. Nationally, 24% of the United States population is less than 18 years of age, 7% of which accounts for children under five years old. This reflects a national school age demographic of 18% of the total population; in contrast, the school age demographic for both Massachusetts and Newton is 16%.
Rental Housing Complexes
Total enrollments by school for four large residential rental communities are shown in the following table; enrollments have been stable at these complexes for the past three years with net changes of fewer than 10 students per year. There is an overall net increase from the prior year of four students.

Avalon at Newton Highlands, a 294-unit apartment complex opened in 2003, has a population of 106 students enrolled in the Newton Public Schools. Avalon at Chestnut Hill, a 204-unit apartment complex opened in 2006, has 61 students enrolled in the Newton Public Schools, a decrease of 11 students since last year. Arborpoint at Woodland Station, a 2007 transit-oriented 180-unit rental complex, has 53 students enrolled in the district. Woodland Park is an older complex and consists of 126 rental apartments including 80 two-bedroom units, 30 one-bedroom units and 16 studios, with 57 students living in this complex near the Riverside MBTA station.
About half of the students residing at these complexes are elementary students (48%) and the remaining students attend middle or high school (52%); there are also 51 students enrolled in private school living in these complexes.
Newton Public Schools works with the City Planning and Development Department to monitor residential development proposals with a potential impact on enrollment. As of November 1, 2015, project statuses are provided by the Planning & Development Department for the following residential development projects with at least 10 units of housing.

Kessler Woods and Court Street are residential developments that have reached the approved permit stage, the point at which potential students are included in the enrollment projections. Construction has begun at Kessler Woods, the 42-acre site on the West Roxbury and Brookline borders of Newton along LaGrange Street. Construction has not yet begun at Court Street.
Preliminary enrollment projections at full occupancy based on experience ratios from three large complexes in Newton have been made and students have been added to the three final years of the projections for Memorial-Spaulding and Horace Mann. A table that shows the calculation related to each project can be found in Appendix G, Table 13.
The nine acre Riverside proposal for 290 residential apartments in a mixed-use development including retail and offices from developer BH Normandy Riverside LLC was approved by the Board of Aldermen in October 2013, including approval for special permits and zoning changes. Due to continuing delays, potential students from the Riverside development are not currently included in the enrollment projections. Because the special permit had been issued, and no delay had been anticipated, students were included in the November 2013 and November 2014 projections. Housing Trends in Newton
In addition to the increased numbers of large apartment complexes in the City since 2002, Newton has had an increase in the number of condominium properties as well. The table below shows the current housing types in Newton, as well as housing types in FY04, twelve years ago. According to the City Assessor’s office, there has been an increase of 1,301 condominium properties, or 37%. Condominiums have been the result of both conversions of existing properties such as two- or three-family homes, which have decreased since FY04, as well as new construction or additions. Single family homes, with only a 1% increase since FY04, have been the most stable segment of the housing stock in Newton.

Trends in Housing Patterns of District Families
There have also been shifts in the housing patterns of families with Newton Public School children. According to city Geographic Information System data that matches school students to housing types, families are living in the new types of housing that are now available in Newton. While approximately 211 more school children live in single family homes in 2015 than in 2002, the percentage of school children living in single family homes has declined from 73% to 66% because of enrollment growth during this time period. Conversely, there has been an increase from 5% to 11% in the percentage of school children living in condominiums. This represents a real increase of 790 students living in condominiums today compared to 2002 and a rate of change of 150%. This data illustrates that families of Newton school children today are more likely to live in condominiums, apartments and two/three family homes (in that order) than in 2002.
Real Estate Sales
According to data obtained from City of Newton records, there were 1,311 residential property sales in calendar year 2014 versus 1,165 the year before, an increase of 13%. Calendar year 2014 had the highest number of property sales of the last nine years. (See Appendix D, Table 9.) Through the first nine months of 2015, real estate sales totaled 864 versus 934 (-7%) for the same period one year ago. Appendix D, Table 9 shows the data by school district, making clear the differences in total property sales by neighborhood.
Additional information is provided in Table 10 of Appendix D with properties listed for sale by school district in Newton as of November 2015; there are 17% fewer properties listed for sale in Newton this year as compared to one year ago. Seventy-two percent of properties listed for sale in Newton are single family homes with eight out of every ten homes having four or more bedrooms. The three columns to the far right of the exhibit show the percentages by type of property on the market by school district. For example, in the Countryside School district, 72% of properties listed for sale are single family, 23% are condominiums and 5% are multi-family while in the Memorial-Spaulding district, 92% of properties for sale are single family, and 8% are condominiums.

Accuracy of Projections
Frequently Asked Questions
II. ENROLLMENT PROJECTION METHOD The enrollment projections are prepared by combining the current year’s official enrollment as reported on October 1, 2015 to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education with other available demographic data for Newton. These data are then applied to a spreadsheet model of five-year average cohort survival ratios. The projections are calculated on an individual school and grade basis and then aggregated into system-wide projections. Just as in recent years, five-year cohort survival ratios for grades 1 through 12 are used in this projection. Adjusted straight five-year averages are used for kindergarten this year as explained later in this section. A cohort is defined as a group of students of a specific age or grade level who are at a specific school or are all going to the same school in the next year. Non-resident students are not included in the base for the cohort calculation, but are added to the total after the calculation. Next year's 6th graders at Oak Hill Middle School, for example, are made up of the 5th grade cohorts from Bowen, Memorial-Spaulding and Zervas. The five-year average cohort survival ratio for schools entering Oak Hill is 0.94. There are 217 resident students in the group described above. The cohort calculation therefore yields 204 (217 x 0.94) students. Nine current non-resident students are added to this total, resulting in the final projection of 213 students for students entering the 6th grade at Oak Hill next year.
The following factors are integrated in the forecast: All current School Committee policies on school feeder patterns, split
districts, district boundaries and buffer zones. All feeder patterns reflect current policies. Student assignment policy changes for the Angier and Zervas districts, and affecting nearby school districts, were approved in September 2015 and are fully integrated into the forecast.
METCO students are added to each school and grade after the projections are computed. METCO students who will enter the system in kindergarten, grade one or grade two each year for the next five years are also included in the individual school tables by grade.
Number of entering middle and high school students are based on percentages of students from lower grade level schools to reflect districting, split districts, and buffer zones.
Number of potential students from residential properties (when building permits have been issued by the City of Newton).
Kindergarten Projection Methodology
The following two charts provide data on kindergarten enrollment. The first chart shows the highest kindergarten populations of the past forty years. The 2015-16 kindergarten class of 877 students departs from recent experience of classes close to or in excess of 900. The kindergarten projection had a variance this year of 45 fewer students, or -4.9%. Last year, there was an equal variance in the kindergarten projection in the opposite direction, 43 students and +4.8%. The smaller kindergarten class of 2015-16 is a single year among several historic high classes and exceeds the 20 and 40 year average kindergarten class sizes. The second chart illustrates the rising trend over time of how Newton’s four-year old population (as per City census data) relates to the kindergarten population. The current ratio
- 18 -
of 1.55 is the third highest of the past decade and is a result of the relatively low city census data of children age 4, at 567 children, resulting in the 877 kindergarten students. Note that the ratio of children age 4 to the following year’s kindergarten has been steadily rising since 2003 driven by lower numbers of 4 year olds documented on the city census and kindergarten classes that, for the most part, have been growing.
Next year’s kindergarten projection of 895 students is calculated using an adjusted straight five-year average of the previous kindergarten enrollments. An adjustment of 18 kindergarten students was made by lowering the kindergarten projection by 1 or 2 students at all schools except for Angier and Zervas. The rationale for this adjustment is a lower birth rate in 2010 of 787 children versus 806 births in 2009; birth rates have been over 800 children in each of the previous four years. Resident births to kindergarten ratios are displayed in Table 10 below. Comparing each year’s kindergarten population to the number of state recorded Newton births five years prior yields a birth to kindergarten ratio. This year’s ratio of 1.11 is the third lowest of the past five years. In the year 2005, a similar number of resident births occurred and the kindergarten class five years later was also under 900 students.

Births to Kindergarten Ratios
TABLE 10Resident Births to Kindergarten Ratios
Using State Data*
- 19 -
To project kindergarten enrollment in future years, a five-year average of previous kindergarten populations is used. The straight average method is used because city census data of children age 4 and age 3 are low again this year and have been demonstrated in recent years to not be a good predictor of the number of kindergarten students one or two years later. For example, using city census data of the number of children age 4 to project next year’s kindergarten yields 807 students. Similarly, using city census data of the number of children age 3 to project kindergarten with the same adjustment factor yields 735 students.
NESDEC Comparison The enrollment analysis report includes projections for the Newton Public Schools from NESDEC (the New England School Development Council). In total by all grade levels, NESDEC’s enrollment projections for 2016-17 are close to Newton’s projections with a difference of 24 students mostly at the elementary and middle school grade level. NESDEC’s kindergarten projection for next year is within 2 students of Newton’s projection. Please see Table 11 of Appendix E. There is a greater divergence between Newton and NESDEC’s projections in the final three years of the projection. The total variances by year between this report and NESDEC’s projections are +24 and +42 for 2016-17 and 2017-18 and +81, +131 and +152 for the final three years through 2020-2021, with Newton being higher. The kindergarten variances by year between this report and NESDEC’s projections for the next five years are also quite close in the first two years, at +2 and -4, and increase in the final three years to +11, +13 and +9. NESDEC uses a five-year average of Newton resident birth data to project kindergarten enrollment five years later; to project kindergarten enrollment in later years including 2019-20 and 2020-21, NESDEC uses estimated numbers of births for calendar year 2014 and 2015. NESDEC’s kindergarten projection next year is 893 students, close to Newton’s projection of 895 students. There are two additional differences between NESDEC’s projection methodology and Newton’s. First, NESDEC’s projections are calculated by total grade rather than by school and by grade. Second, NESDEC uses mostly three-year cohort survival ratios among all grades whereas Newton uses a five-year ratio for grades K through 12. NESDEC’s three year average weights more heavily the recent years during which net move-ins to Newton have slowed. This contributes to the lower projections NESDEC is making three, four and five years hence. Also in contrast to NESDEC, Newton has made an adjustment to projections in the three final years of the projection which is the addition of 41 students anticipated from the Kessler Woods and Court Street developments.
Accuracy of Projections Several tables are included to show how accurately the projections match actual enrollment. Table 11 shows the projections for the current year (2015-16) by grade level as predicted one, two and three years ago.

Overall, the October 1, 2015 actual enrollment of 12,508 students is 175 students less than projected in the November 2014 Enrollment Analysis Report, a -1.4% variance from projection. For comparison, variances from projection during the last three years were -0.7% in 2014-15, 0.0% in 2013-14 and 0.5% in 2012-13. In the past 15 years, Newton has had six negative variances when actual enrollment has been lower than projected enrollment like is the case this year. More commonly in this time period, the actual enrollment has been higher than the projection. This year, all three grade levels are enrolled at lower than anticipated levels with 74, 34 and 67 fewer students at the elementary, middle and high school grade levels respectively, variances ranging from -1.2% to -0.7%. Table 12 provides a one-page summary of last year’s projections by school. Of the nine elementary schools that had enrollments lower than projected, Bowen and Horace Mann had the largest variances of -7.4% (36 fewer students) and -7.0% (31 fewer students), respectively. Burr, Cabot, Underwood and Zervas all had negative variances greater than 2% and enrolled 9 to 14 fewer students than expected. Mason-Rice and Williams were among the schools with more students enrolled than projected; these schools enrolled 16 and 14 more students, or 3.4% and 5.1% respectively. Bigelow and Day both varied from projection by more than 2% with Day having the greatest variance of -5.0% and 49 fewer students. Newton South enrolled six fewer students than in the prior year which resulted in an enrollment that varied from projection by -2.3%, or 42 students. Table 13 provides school and grade detail comparing the 2015-16 enrollment to the projections made last year. This table illustrates that kindergarten through third grades had the highest variances from projection; grades one through three had projection variances at or over 2% and kindergarten had the highest projection variance of -4.9% and 45 fewer students. It is notable that the prior year’s kindergarten was under-projected to the same degree by 43 students and 4.8%. At the middle school level, the projection for grade six was the most accurate at 0.4% while the projection for grade 8 had a -2.5% variance, or 24 fewer students. Two grades at the high school had the greatest variance from projection. Grade nine was enrolled with 38 fewer students than projected (-3.9%) and grade twelve had 22 fewer students enrolled (-2.3%) than were projected.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why do we need to know how many students may be attending each school in Newton in future years?
Enrollment projections are useful for decision-making and planning especially in light of continuing significant enrollment growth. With growing shortages of space at the elementary and middle schools, and with increased demand on local financial resources, accurate projections have become increasingly important. Carefully crafted, presented and interpreted projections are a key first step in the planning process. The district is then able to plan the budgets, including capital improvements, classroom space requirements, sufficient teacher workforce and staffing, instructional materials, transportation and so forth. Accurate projections alert the district to changes in school population to allow for needed adjustments. In addition to the projections, school principals provide critical data on enrollments and registrations each spring.
2. Why can’t the principals count the students who are in their school and add the students who are coming next year?
This technique may work very well in small, stable communities for a single year's projection. However, larger communities like Newton, with a need for long-term planning, require more complex approaches in order to forecast enrollment trends some years into the future. Research done on Newton’s high school enrollment showed that a significant number of students enter and exit the system during the school year and during each summer. Reliance on class lists would provide a less accurate picture than the use of a statistical model that accounts for movements in and out of each school and the system as a whole. It is worth noting that Newton’s elementary school principals submit expected numbers of pupils in May and June so that planning for classrooms and teaching staff can proceed with the most recent information.
3. How complex are projection methods?
Enrollment projection procedures are somewhat complex, but, like most statistical methods, they can be explained and replicated. For example, last year (2014-15) in the Peirce district there were 48 kindergarten students. This year (2015-16), in the same district, there are 56 first grade students. Not including the two non-resident students in grade one, this movement yields a ratio of 1.13 (54 divided by 48). This ratio is averaged with the ratios of the previous four years. The resulting ratio of 1.06 is multiplied by the current number of kindergarten students (38), to calculate the projected number of first graders for next year (40), plus four non-resident students, for a total of 44 students. These forecasts help communities to better understand the impact of trends and changes in enrollment, migration and births on school population. All projections are based on underlying assumptions that use historical school enrollment and census data.
4. What procedures are used in other school systems across the United States?
Most school systems use the “Cohort Survival” method, or some variation, as the technique to provide enrollment forecasts. The basic unit used in this technique is the ratio, a measure that expresses the relative size of two numbers. The cohort survival ratio
- 26 -
method models and calculates the flow of a cohort or age group of pupils through the system from one grade to the next over a number of years.
The ratios are influenced by several variables--census data, birth rates, student entrances, exits and transfers, non-public school enrollment patterns, frequency of promotions or retentions, drop-out rates, the proportion of the city school-age population, housing patterns, the number of building permits issued, and other urban trends. Because these variables change from year to year and from school to school, an average ratio of three to five years is used to project for the future. The more stable the community or the individual school neighborhood, the easier and more reliable the projections.
The advantages of this type of model are: (1) it captures the multiple forces which affect population changes (move-ins, move-outs, transfers between schools); and (2) it distinguishes changes in each age group rather than looking at a composite of all changes.
A limited number of school systems have prepared enrollment forecasts using other procedures. For example, regression analysis utilizing the same predictors - births and past tendencies of school children to advance from one grade to the next - can be employed. Other methods include: Growth technique (establishes a district level enrollment curve based on ratios, migration, retention, drop-outs, private school enrollment, etc.); historical comparison of dwellings to enrollment used to base projections; method of analogy (analysis of national trends or local growth influence on district enrollment); and the multiple factor method (study of social and economic factors’ influence on enrollment).
5. What procedure historically has been utilized in Newton?
The cohort survival ratio method for system-wide projections with adjustments, if appropriate, at the school level has been used for many years. In the past, a combination of three-year and five-year average ratios has been used. This report includes five-year ratios for grades 1 through 12 in order to provide a consistent timeframe for the model across all schools and to take advantage of a full five years of growth. A five-year adjusted average of previous kindergarten classroom populations is used for the 2016-17 kindergarten projection. Within the past few years’ kindergarten projections, Newton has used city census data for the number of children aged 3 years as compared to the kindergarten population two years hence. This year’s city census data was too low to formulate a reasonable kindergarten projection.
6. How accurate are projections?
The quality of the data obviously influences the accuracy of the projections. Cohort survival relies on data that is usually readily available and reasonably reliable - census data on births and past enrollments.
"Goodness of fit," a measure of the percentage of error, is determined by dividing the actual enrollment figure by the projected enrollment figure for each level. The errors are the magnitude of the percentage difference between projected and actual enrollments. A small percentage of error is preferred. Research literature indicates that total school district enrollment may be projected with an accuracy of plus or minus 1%, yet an individual school's error rate might exceed 10%. Past system-wide error rates in Newton have been
- 27 -
low, at around +/-1%, while grade level and school based projections have been significantly higher. Tables 12, 13 and 14 show the accuracy of projections at the system level and also school by school and grade by grade.
In summary, short-term projections are generally more accurate than long-term projections. Projections for districts with larger enrollments are more accurate than those for smaller dis-tricts. System-wide projections are more accurate than individual school projections. Error is especially important to consider when reviewing the data beyond five years in the future. These projections, at best, provide only the direction or trend enrollments will take into the 2020’s. This is because beyond the fourth year of the projection, elementary enrollments must be based on predicted births in calendar year that is not yet complete, and for which data has not yet been 100% collected. Secondary level enrollments can be projected beyond that point with a greater assurance of reliability.

III. ENROLLMENT HISTORY
Grade-by-Grade Analysis
A Comparison to Peak Enrollment Years
III. ENROLLMENT HISTORY
This section of the report looks at historical enrollment patterns in two ways. The first is on a grade-by-grade basis, tracking the in-and out-migration of students as each kindergarten class moves through the system. The second provides a look at current enrollment as compared with peak enrollment years.
Grade-by-Grade Analysis
Table 16 shows Newton's historical cohort survival ratios by grade for the twenty-five years from 1991-92 through 2015-16. This table shows the net in-and out-migration patterns for each grade level. Ratios greater than one indicate growth and ratios less than one indicate a decrease in the trend. Over the years, each cohort moving from K-1 has a survival ratio greater than one, indicating net in-migration. This year, the ratio from grade K-1 is the highest of the last five years, at 1.07, underscoring the recent trend of families to move into Newton earlier on in elementary school. The four other elementary school ratios (grades 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, and 4-5) are between 0.99 and 1.01, indicating net enrollment stability. This is a departure from recent years where there has been net in-migration. An average of the ratios from these four elementary grades is 1.00 this year, as it was last year. In all other years since the elementary growth trend began in 2004-05, this average of four ratios has been greater than 1.0.
This year’s ratio of 0.97 from grade 5-6 is considered typical; in past years and in this year, the transition from elementary school to middle school has been marked by net out-migration between grades 5 to 6 as some students leave to enroll in private schools. Conversely, the transition from grade 8 to high school has historically shown a net in-migration as students enter the public school during this transition year. This year’s ratio from grade 8 to grade 9 is 1.03 and compares to last year’s ratio of 1.04 but is lower than the previous four years where the grade 8 to 9 ratio was 1.07 or 1.08.
Table 15 shows the changes in size of each grade from 2014-15 to 2015-16. Only four of the twelve migrations were positive, the largest of which was +67 students from kindergarten to grade 1, followed by +24 students from grade 8 to grade 9. There were negative migrations in middle school, including grade 6 to grade 7 (-10 students) and grade 7 to grade 8 (-20 students), and in high school, from grade 11 to grade 12 (-18 students).
A Comparison to Peak Enrollment Years
North High School enrollment of 2,107 students is the highest since 2004-05, although it has declined by 869 students since the 1972 peak enrollment year. Total 2015-16 enrollment of 12,508 is 68% of the 1967 peak enrollment of 18,424. At the beginning of the current growth trend in 2004, the district’s enrollment of 11,268 students was 61% of the 1967 peak year.

V. STUDENT EXITS AND ENTRANCES
STUDENT EXITS AND ENTRANCES
This section reports on student mobility in Newton Public Schools due to the movement of students not resulting from grade promotion. The student mobility statistics reported below illuminate the annual cycle of new student entrances and student exits in the district and how net migration can affect total enrollment. In addition, exit and entrance statistics further detail the extent and the type of student mobility changes that are experienced by schools during the course of a full academic year. Student mobility statistics reported in this section cover the 2014-15 school year to illustrate these changes over the full academic year. Note that other statistics in this report are reported as of a moment in time (October 1st). The table below shows three years of history in which last year shows negative net migration, while the two previous years show positive net migration. In 2014-15, new students comprised 6.4% of the total student population, not including new kindergarten enrollments in the fall. Student exits in the same year, not including graduates, made up 6.9% of the total population. In 2014-15, there were more student exits than student entrances as a percentage of the total student population. This negative net migration for 2014-15 is a shift from the prior two years, which had positive net migration, although the difference between entrances and exits narrowed from 2012-13 to 2013-14.
Student Exit Statistics In 2014-15, a total of 863 students, or 6.9% of the total population, left their schools during or after the close of the academic year, not including graduates. In 2014-15, at all grade levels, the greatest number of student exits resulted from students moving out of Newton. Most students who moved out of Newton in 2014-15 left during the elementary years, which was also true in the previous year. The rate of students moving out of the country was higher at the elementary level than other grade levels. Like last year, the middle school grade level had the highest percentage of students leaving to attend private school of all grade levels. The following tables provide the total number of exiting students by school and grade level, and by reason for exit. This year, the reasons for exit are displayed for exits in Summer 2015 to provide more information, as the majority of exits occur at or after the end of the school year. The number of exits during the 2014-15 school year, as well as all exits occurring in 2013-14 and 2014-15 (which includes the 2014-15 school year and Summer 2015 exits), are also included for comparison. Displaying the statistics in this way also allows for a comparison between the total exits in Summer 2015 to the total entrances as of October 1, 2015 for a current look at how student mobility is affecting growth at the beginning of the 2015-16 school year.

Student Entrance Statistics
There were 805 students, or 6.4% of total enrollment, who entered Newton Public Schools in
2014-2015 who had not been students in the previous academic year, not including
kindergarten entrances in the fall. This is a decrease of 41 student enrollments from the prior
year, when there were 846 student entrances, or 6.8% of total enrollment.
The following tables provide the total number of entering students by school and grade level,
and by reason for enrollment and/or origin of the enrolled student. Students moving into
Newton are most commonly coming from another Massachusetts community or are
transferring in from a private school.
This year, entrances by reason for enrollment are displayed as of October 1, 2014 to provide
more detailed information about entrances, as the majority of student entrances occur
between the end of school and October 1st. Total entrances as of 2013-14, 2014-15, and
October 1, 2015 are included for comparison. Overall, the number of student entrances as of
October 1, 2015 is 608 students, which is comparable to the prior year when there were 606
student entrances as of October 1, 2014.
To identify the students who both entered and exited during the 2014-15 school year, the lists
of students who entered and students who exited were matched by student identification
number. There were 159 students who entered the Newton Public Schools and left the
Newton Public Schools in 2014-15, which is 19.8% of the total entrances. Although this data
is not displayed in the following tables, the majority of these 159 students enrolled from
outside of the country (46%), while the remainder of these students enrolled from outside of
Massachusetts, from private school, or from Massachusetts. The majority of these 159
students exited because they moved out of Newton (51%) or moved out of the country
(38%), while the remaining students left to attend private school or became home schooled.

The chart below shows the breakdown of non-public school enrollment by type of school in
2014-15. The majority of the school-age population in Newton who are enrolled in non-
public schools are enrolled in Massachusetts private schools.
The remainder of this section examines non-public schools enrollment at the three grade
levels and by districted Newton school.
The percentage of the school-age population attending non-public schools at the elementary,
middle, and high school grade levels over time is illustrated in Figure 3 below. There is a
consistent history of higher rates of enrollment in non-public schools at the secondary grade
levels (grades 6-12), where almost 21% of the school-age population is enrolled in non-
public schools this year. At the middle school level, the percentage of students enrolled in
non-public schools is almost the same as last year at 20.7%. At the high school level, the
percentage of students enrolled in non-public schools increased slightly. In total, elementary
students continue to be enrolled in non-public schools at a rate between 15% and 16% as they
have since 2006, although the rate has declined slightly this year.

Three additional tables are included in this section. Table 28 displays non-public school enrollment by grade and Table 29 presents this information further delineated by districted school. Table 30 displays the distribution of Newton Public Schools students who are placed out-of-district due to the special education needs of the students by grade level and districted school. Highlights of these tables are described below:
The number of students enrolled in non-public schools increased at the high school level compared to 2013-14, while it decreased at the elementary and middle school levels. This overall increase at the high school is due to increases in the number of 10th and 12th grade students enrolled in non-public schools.
Grade 6 and Grade 9, both transition years in Newton, show small decreases in the
number of students enrolled at non-public schools from the prior year, -6 and -3 students respectively. In 2013-14, these grades showed enrollment increases of +27 and +33 students respectively.
Enrollment of students with special education placements attending private schools,
special education collaborative programs, or other public schools has decreased from 141 to 131 students, a 7% decline. This is similar to 2013-14 when there was a decline of 9%, from 155 to 141 students.

English Language Learners (Tables 2 and 3) Table 2 indicates a decrease of 48 students, or -5.5%, in the number of K-12 students identified as "English Language Learners" and enrolled in the state-mandated Sheltered English Immersion Program from last year. There are a total of 827 students in the program this year versus 875 students one year ago. The English Language Learners population has grown by 511 students, or 162%, since 1990.
Table 3 on the following page shows the number of English Language Learner students by grade level in the current year and the two years prior. The elementary ELL population has decreased by 46 students in 2015-16 compared to the prior year. The ELL population at the secondary level in grades 6 -12 has decreased by 2 students from the prior year. Table 3 also shows the number of students in each of the seven largest language groups for this school year and the prior two school years. The students in these groups receive native language support as needed. "Other" languages including French, Vietnamese, Pushtu/Pashtu, and Arabic represent 22% of the total ELL program enrollment in 2015-16.

Students with Special Education Services (Table 4) The following table reports five years of history of the distribution of students requiring special education services by placement type and grade level. Program placement type is defined according to the time out of the regular classroom environment required by a special education placement. The majority of students with special education services are fully included in the general education classroom, with less than 21% of time spent outside of the classroom. For all grade levels combined, the percentage of students with special education services in the Newton Public Schools is 19.2% this year. This is an increase of 14 students from last school year; however, the percentage of special education students compared to district enrollment is similar to last year, when 19.1% of district students received special education services. There are more special education students at the elementary grade level this year with 860 students, or 14.9% of total enrollment, versus 853 students last year, or 14.6%. There are 41 fewer special education students at the middle school level this year, or 21.2% of total enrollment, which is a decrease from 22.7% in 2014-15. There is an increase of 48 special education students at the high school level, representing 24% of total enrollment. For the third year in a row, there has been a decrease in out of district placements as of October 2015, with fewer students placed out of district to private special education schools (123 students vs. 126 in October 2014 and 136 in October 2013). Ten year trends in the distribution of students by special education placement and grade level are illustrated in the graph at the end of the section.
