Student Assignment Update
This report will provide members of the Board of Education with an update regarding the assignment of students to schools for the 2010-11 school year.
The Office of Demographics projected 91,325 students would attend Jefferson County Public Schools for the 2010-11 school year. The census on August 23, 2010, the fifth day of school, in kindergarten through 12th grade was 91,381. This does not include students in self-contained exceptional child education (ECE) classes, special schools, or early childhood education. This data indicates that the district achieved the projections. At kindergarten and in grades 6-8, the district slightly exceeded the projection.
Attachment 1 highlights the projected assignment for attendance and the census of students on the fifth day of school for each of the schools in the district.
The Office of Elementary Student Assignment processed 12,215 elementary applications during the application period of February 1 through March 9, 2010. Of the kindergarten applications received during the application period, 80 percent of the applicants were assigned to their first or second choice schools and 93.5 percent of the applicants were assigned to one of their four choices. Of the first grade applications received during the application period, 86.7 percent were assigned to their first or second choice schools and 95 percent of the applicants received one of their four choices.
Of the kindergarten and first grade applications received during the application period, 57.8 percent of the applicants listed the school to which the home address projected them as first choice and 42.2 percent selected a school other than the school to which the home address would project them as first choice. Of the applicants who requested the school to which the home address projected them as first choice, 86 percent of these applicants were assigned to the school to which the home address projects them. Efforts of district staff to keep siblings at the same school and to provide educational continuity for students impacted the ability to accommodate all parental requests.
The Office of Elementary Student Assignment processed an additional 4,603 elementary applications from May 1, 2010 through August 23, 2010. Many of these applications were from families who were previously assigned and then moved to a home in a new cluster, which required a new elementary application.
The Office of Student Services received 5,388 student transfer applications for kindergarten through 12th grade between May 3, 2010 and August 19, 2010. Thirty-nine percent of the transfer applications were approved. In addition, 950 student transfer appeals were processed. Fifty-seven percent of the transfer appeals were approved. Most of the transfer applications and appeals that were denied were due to capacity at the requested school and grade level.
Student Transfer Applications received through 8/19/2010

The Office of Magnet, Optional and Advance Program received 8,483 applications for the 2010-11 school year. This number is only first choices and does not include second choices. Of the first choice applications 506 were for elementary magnet schools and programs which were initiated in 2009-10, 121 were for the Visual and Performing Arts Magnet at Western Middle School, which is in its first year, and 1873 were for the career theme programs at the high schools, which are also in the first year of implementation.
Attachment 2 outlines the applications received for each magnet school and magnet or optional program. This data is intended to serve as baseline data for future efforts related to community information and outreach.
The Student Assignment Plan provides that a school shall have no less than 15 percent nor more than 50 percent of its students who reside in Geography Area A. For the 2010-11 school year, 59 percent of elementary schools met this guideline at grades 1 and 2. This represents a 10 percent increase from 2009-10 when only 49 percent of the elementary schools met the guideline in Grade 1. Furthermore, of the 37 elementary schools that did not meet the diversity guideline for 2010-11, 86 percent are moving toward the guideline as compared to the 2009-10 school year.
Attachment 3 describes the census at each school by the percentage of students who reside in Area A. Attachment 3 also includes information on middle and high school census regarding the percentage of students who reside in Area A.
