Current State This section of Students Count includes current information regarding organizational

structures, student enrollment, and school utilization. Baltimore County Public Schools (BCPS) recognizes September 30, 2019, as the date for its official enrollment for the 2019–2020 school year. The systemwide student enrollment as of September 30, 2019, is 115,038. The total student enrollment increased by 1,224 students from September 30, 2018, to September 30, 2019, making this the eleventh consecutive year of enrollment increases for the school system. From 2008 to 2019, enrollment increased by 11,395 students (from 103,643 to 115,038). This is the sixth year BCPS has exceeded a threshold of 110,000 students. This last occurred in 1977 with an enrollment of 113,900 students.

The school system is divided into five Planning Areas; Southwest, Northwest, Central, Northeast, and Southeast. This division supports communications, planning, and reporting for the school system. Each table on the following pages lists the schools, centers, and programs located in that particular Planning Area. For each school, the table includes the State-Rated Capacity (SRC), September 30, 2019, student headcount enrollment, full time equivalent (FTE) enrollment, and school utilization rate. (For explanations of full time equivalent enrollment and SRC, please refer to the Frequently-asked Questions section).

A set of corresponding maps follow, one each for elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools. The maps show the boundaries for each school. They are also color-coded to indicate the current utilization of each school. If a school has a utilization rate of 115% (enrollment is 15% above its SRC, it is deemed overcrowded by the Baltimore County Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance (APFO).

Baltimore County Public Schools Organizational Structures,

(Definitions of Schools, Centers, and Programs) School Year 2019–2020

Baltimore County Public Schools (BCPS) defines three organizational structures that are used to deliver instructional programs to students. By definition, each of these organizational structures have designated instructional staff. The three structures are Schools, Centers, and Programs. The two criteria used to distinguish among these three types are student enrollment and test information reporting. In most cases, each school, center, or program is housed in a separate and distinct facility, whether owned or leased by the Board of Education. However, since exceptions do exist, the following definitions are applied for clarity.

School – An organizational structure where students are counted as enrolled and testing information is reported. All testing information is reported from schools. Schools are further designated as Elementary Schools, Middle Schools, High Schools, Other Schools, and Special Education Schools. A Charter school meets these same requirements for a public facility with a contract to operate under the supervision of the BCPS Board of Education.

Center – An organizational structure where students are counted as enrolled but testing information is not reported. Testing information for students enrolled at a center is reported from the home school of the student. Most centers are alternative centers, with the exception of Campfield Early Learning Center.

Program – An organizational structure where no students are counted as enrolled and testing information is not reported. Students are counted as enrolled at their home schools. Testing information for students participating in a program is reported from the home school of the student.

The following table summarizes this information:

Frequently-asked Questions (FAQ) about Enrollments, Projections, and Capacities

When are enrollments counted?

The official enrollments for all schools are calculated on September 30 in accordance with Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) policies.

What is full time equivalent enrollment?

Full time equivalent (FTE) enrollment is an adjustment made to an elementary school’s total enrollment for the purpose of comparing enrollment to a school’s official capacity. FTE enrollment factors 100% of students in Kindergarten through Grade 5, and 50% of students in prekindergarten and preschool because they are half-day programs. No FTE conversion is required at secondary schools.

For elementary schools, the FTE calculation is:

(Preschool x .5, rounded up to a whole number) +

(Prekindergarten x .5, rounded up to a whole number) + Kindergarten through Grade 5.

For elementary schools piloting a full day Prekindergarten program, the FTE calculation is:

(Preschool x .5, rounded up to a whole number) + Prekindergarten through Grade 5.

How often are enrollment projections updated?

School system enrollment projections are updated annually to ensure that trend information is current and the latest data are available.

Are enrollment projections accurate?

In alignment with BCPS’ established performance standards, the target accuracy for systemwide projections is 99%. This goal has been met consistently for the past several years, including September 30, 2019, (99.99% accuracy). The target accuracy for individual schools is +/- 7.00% of the total enrollment.

What is a “planning area”?

For planning purposes, BCPS identifies five geographic areas of Baltimore County:

Southwest Area (SW) Northwest Area (NW) Central Area (C) Northeast Area (NE) Southeast Area (SE)

Elementary, middle, and high schools are associated with each of the five areas. While schools are identified to a specific geographic area, there are cases where attendance boundaries do not completely align across elementary, middle, and high schools. Thus, there are cases where students may attend a school associated with one area for elementary school, but attend a school associated with an adjacent area for middle and/or high school. Students Count 2019, February 2020

Frequently-asked Questions about Enrollments, Projections, and Capacities, continued

What is a “feeder pattern”?

A feeder pattern is a progression of schools from elementary, to middle, to high school based on school attendance boundaries. An elementary school that sends students to only one middle school, for example, is referred to as a “100% feeder” to that middle school. Not all school boundaries are aligned as such. Elementary schools may feed to two or more middle schools, which may feed to two or more high schools. Feeder patterns are identified based only on the geography of attendance boundaries. Parent and student choice factors, including special permission transfer requests, magnet program applications, and special education program placement are unique decisions and not considered part of a school’s feeder pattern. Schools with no attendance boundary, such as some magnet schools, have no feeder pattern. Please refer to Appendix j. for a current BCPS feeder pattern chart.

What is a “zone”?

Zones are different than planning areas. In BCPS, zones are not geographic areas, rather they are administrative constructs that group schools for school leadership purposes. BCPS divides schools into three zones, each administrated by a community superintendent. Three executive directors (two elementary and one secondary) report to each community superintendent. School distribution among zones is subject to change. For the most current zone identifications, please visit the BCPS Web page:

Link to Current Schools by Zone

http://www.bcps.org/schools/schoolsByZone.aspx

How is capacity calculated?

SRC is defined by the MSDE and is calculated based on the number of teaching stations (classrooms) in the school and their utilization. SRC applies to the permanent building only and does not include relocatable units.

At the elementary level, SRC is calculated as follows:

• Regular classroom (Grades 1-5) 23 seats • Self-contained special education classroom 10 seats • Kindergarten classroom 22 seats • Prekindergarten classroom 20 seats • Some spaces where instruction may take place are not included in the SRC, such as:

cafeteria, gymnasium and multi-purpose rooms, computer lab, art, vocal music, instrumental music, reading resource, science storage, and preparation rooms.



At the secondary level, SRC is calculated as follows:

• Regular classroom/computer classroom (Grades 6-12) 25 seats x 85% utilization • Career and technology education classroom 20 seats x 85% utilization • Self-contained special education classroom 10 seats x 100% utilization • Gymnasium (2 classrooms) 50 seats x 85% utilization • Computer labs do not count towards SRC• Teaching stations used for activity rooms, dance studios, weight rooms, science labs, art,

music, technology education, family studies, and business classrooms all count as teachingstations (25 seats x 85% utilization)

• Teaching stations that can be separated by moveable walls or partitions (such as those insome designed auditoriums) also contribute to capacity (25 seats x 85% utilization)

Why does capacity change?

The capacity of a school may change after a renovation or a change in school program offerings. When a triggering event such as this happens, the SRC is recalculated and submitted for approval to the Maryland Department of Planning (MDP).

What does “utilization” mean?

Utilization compares the FTE enrollment (elementary) or student headcount enrollment (middle and high) to the school’s SRC.

Number of Students +/- Capacity = FTE Enrollment – SRC

Positive numbers indicate the amount enrolled over SRC. Negative numbers indicate the amount enrolled under SRC.

Percent Utilization = FTE Enrollment divided by SRC

A school with a utilization of 100% is enrolled at capacity. Utilization less than 100% is under capacity, and utilization over 100% is over capacity. The tables and maps in this report use the following color shading scale to show the percent utilization for September 30, 2019:

If a school has a utilization rate of 115% (enrollment is 15% above its SRC), it is deemed overcrowded by the APFO.

Enrollment Tables Notes:

Some schools have unique administrative or programmatic situations or changes that influence their enrollment. The notes below correspond to and provide explanation for the letters in the Notes column in the tables on the following pages:

A. Partial Magnet Program Schools – These schools have an attendance boundary, but also accept students through the magnet application process, which allows students to attend who reside outside the school boundary.

B. Total Magnet Program Schools – These schools do not have an attendance boundary and accept all students through the magnet application process.

C. Special Education Schools – These public, separate-day schools have no attendance boundary and serve students with significant disabilities who reside throughout the system.

D. Alternative Education Centers – These centers provide services for students removed from the regular education program at their districted middle and high schools. With the exception of Crossroads Center, which has a 180-day program, centers enroll students for only a limited part of the school year.

E. Recent Redistricting – Recent boundary changes have occurred in alignment with Policy/Rule 1280, including: Castanea Estates Community Boundary Change, (for 2019–2020 school year)Current maps reflect this boundary change.

F. Full-Day Prekindergarten Pilot – Three schools have a full-day Prekindergarten pilot program. All Prekindergarten students at these schools are full-day, and thus count as a whole student for FTE calculations.

G. Kindergarten Annexation – These schools are sending or receiving schools for a kindergarten annexation. Upon completing kindergarten, these students return to their districted elementary schools for Grades 1 through 5. All kindergarten students districted to Bedford and Milbrook Elementary Schools attend

kindergarten at Campfield Early Learning Center.H. Norwood Elementary School and Holabird Middle School – Beginning with the

2013–2014 school year, students in Grades 4 and 5 districted to Norwood Elementary School attend Holabird Middle School.


Enrollment Tables Notes, continued:

I. Sollers Point Technical High School – This regional career and technology magnet program is located on the campus of Dundalk High School. Students attend for a portion of the school day and all students are counted at their districted or assigned high schools for enrollment purposes.

J. Home and Hospital – This program provides services to students with extended medical absences. These students remain enrolled in their districted or assigned school.

K. Colgate Elementary School at Rosedale Center – In 2016, Rosedale Center relocated to a leased facility. Colgate Elementary School students and staff are temporarily located at the original Rosedale Center building for the 2018–2019 and 2019–2020 school years to accommodate the demolition and replacement of Colgate Elementary School.

L. Watershed Public Charter School – This public charter school opened in Fall 2019 with Kindergarten through Grade 3. Grades 4 and 5 will fill via matriculation and application over the next two years. There is no attendance boundary for this school, which accepts students via an application process.


Map Notes:

BCPS prepares maps using a geographic information system (GIS). This software tool allows us to match school system data with digital representations of schools, school boundaries, roads, and rivers. This rich analysis allows clear visual comparisons for critical analysis of data and informed decision-making.

• A compass rose is provided at the top right of each map for direction orientation. All mapscontained in this report are oriented in portrait format with North at the top of the page.

• The scale of each map varies based on the size of the area shown. A scale bar is provided atthe bottom right for distance measurement in miles.

• Some schools and charter schools report capacity but do not have a traditional attendanceboundary. These locations are marked by a shaded circle. This marker indicates the locationof the facility but does not imply a school boundary.

• Special education schools, centers (except Campfield Early Learning Center), and programsdo not report capacity and utilization due to the unique nature of their academic programs. Insuch cases, only a location flag and label (without an over/under capacity count) are present.Their location flags are colored pink (special education schools), orange (centers), and blue(programs).

• The maps included in this report are intended for data display, not for determining BCPSschool assignment. BCPS has made substantial efforts to ensure the accuracy of theinformation. However, school service areas and facility information are subject to change.For verification of any school assignment, please call the Boundary Information Line at(443) 809-4215. Proof of residency in Baltimore County is required, per Board of EducationPolicy 5150.
