Although in past years there was much more variability in <br />growth rates between the two school systems, averages projected growth rates in the <br />next 10 years for both school systems are quite similar. Both school systems are <br />showing a projected decrease in the increase (but still showing positive growth) at <br />Elementary and High School levels. At the Middle School level, both school districts <br />are projected to grow at a faster rate, on average, in the next 10 years than the average <br />for the last 10 years. Year -by -year percent growth is shown on the attached table as <br />well as the projected LOS. The projections models were updated using current <br />(November 15) memberships.
