Comprehensive Plan Public School Facilities Element <br />student station is defined as the square footage required per student for an instructional <br />program based on the particular course content. As indicated above, an analysis of <br />student stations is one component of establishing a school level of service standard. <br />A utilization rate was also calculated for each school. The utilization rate is calculated by <br />dividing the school's enrollment by the capacity at each school. The utilization value <br />determines whether a school is over crowded or within its capacity designation. Schools <br />with a utilization rate less than 100% are operating within their capacity, and schools <br />with a utilization rate greater than 100% are over -crowded. <br />Based on the data and analysis for school year 2007/08, current district -wide school <br />capacity utilization is at 96.4% for elementary schools, 115.7% for middle schools, and <br />94.7% for high schools. To achieve a district -wide level of service standard of 99.7%, <br />the school district must provide additional student stations at the middle school level. At <br />the elementary school level, the district -wide utilization is less than 100%. There are, <br />however, three elementary schools where enrollment exceeds capacity and the utilization <br />is greater than the 100% level of service standard in school year 2007/08. <br />Community Development Department <br />28 <br />
