• Determine the number of school age children by school type. <br />• Determine the extent to which current school facilities are capable of handling the projected <br />number of new students. <br />The number of households was obtained from Phase I of this report and multiplied by the number of <br />school age children per household (0.43) . This figure represents the average number of school age <br />children per household in rural portions of the Stoney Creek Planning Area townships (1990 Census). <br />To determine which school type these students would attend, the school attendance data from Table 6 <br />was converted to student generation rates as follows: <br />Household <br />Percent Student <br />School Tape Attendance Generation <br />Elementary 50 % 0.21 <br />Middle 23% 0.10 <br />High School 27% 0.12 <br />Total - All Schools 100% 0.43 <br />By multiplying the student generation rates by the number of households, the projected number of <br />students, by school type, may be obtained. These projections are summarized in Table 7 below. <br />Table 7: Student Generation by Development Option <br />Impacts <br />Table 8 reveals the impacts of the different development scenarios on the Orange County school system. <br />Deficits ( +) and surpluses ( -) in overall capacity were determined by simply adding the projected <br />number of students, by school type, to the current surplus ( -) or deficit ( +). This was done since some <br />deficiencies in school capacity might be handled through adjustment of school attendance zones. <br />Stoney Creek Basin Area Plan, page B 715 <br />Development Option <br />Conventional Design <br />Scenario I <br />Conventional Design <br />Scenario II <br />Density <br />Neutral <br />Neo- <br />Traditional <br />Households <br />1,629 <br />879 <br />899 <br />3, 307 <br />Students <br />700 <br />378 <br />387 <br />1,422 <br />Attendance by School Type <br />Elementary <br />348 <br />188 <br />192 <br />708 <br />Middle <br />162 <br />88 <br />90 <br />330 <br />High School <br />190 <br />102 <br />105 <br />3844 <br />Impacts <br />Table 8 reveals the impacts of the different development scenarios on the Orange County school system. <br />Deficits ( +) and surpluses ( -) in overall capacity were determined by simply adding the projected <br />number of students, by school type, to the current surplus ( -) or deficit ( +).
