"Whitehall Associates has become an important partner in planning for the Greenwich Township School district. Based on the demographics provided by Whitehall Associates, the Greenwich Township Board of Education decided to initiate two school construction projects in the last ten years. The information provided by Whitehall Associates served as the foundation for supporting the need to expand facilities. The projected enrollment numbers proved accurate and further confirmed the appropriateness of the Board’s decision."

Planning for the Future Begins with Demographics

demographicsEnrollment projections are key in the planning process for any school. However, projecting school enrollments is subject to many variables that can change those apparent trends.  

The following should be taken into account when reviewing past, current, and future enrollments of a school.

  • The public schools of any community are a reflection of the understanding of the people they serve.

  • The geography, population trends, socioeconomic status, and work opportunities in a community will influence the type of educational programs to be offered by the schools.

  • It is for this reason that Whitehall Associates will provide a comprehensive analysis of the most significant of these factors and develop a unique perspective for the study of your school.
