Capacity Figures

For this plan, the District has projected student enrollment counts over the next six years using a two-year, weighted-average, modified Cohort-Survival method. This method computes progressive ratios for each grade level and weights the averages those ratios over the past three years. This average ratio is then multiplied by the actual current year's enrollment for each grade to project the enrollment in the next grade for the next year.

Between October 2005 and October 2006, actual enrollment in the district grew by 6.45%. Even though neighboring districts in King County are experiencing either a slowing or a decline in enrollment numbers, our district continues to experience enrollment growth due to an inventory of unoccupied homes in the Snoqualmie Ridge I & II developments and some moderately priced homes in North Bend and Snoqualmie. Currently, we expect student enrollment in the District to continue growing between 7.7% and 9.4% over the next six years due, in part, to ongoing home construction in the Snoqualmie Ridge II development.

Phase one of the Snoqualmie Ridge Development is almost at build out. Currently the developer estimates that 2,230 of 2,268 planned housing units in phase one are completed. To date, approximately 300 homes have been constructed out of a planned total of between 1,850 and 2,150 housing units in phase two of Snoqualmie Ridge development.

The future water availability and proposed sewer infrastructure increase in the City of North Bend are being monitored for potential future impacts. Several other large developments surrounding the cities of Snoqualmie and North Bend are continuing to move forward in the planning stages.
