Current State, continued

The school system is divided into five Planning Areas; Southwest, Northwest, Central, Northeast, and Southeast. This division supports communications, planning, and reporting for the school system. Each table on the following pages lists the schools, centers, and programs located in that particular Planning Area. For each school, the table includes the State-Rated Capacity (SRC), September 30, 2020, student headcount enrollment, full time equivalent (FTE) enrollment, and school utilization rate. (For explanations of full time equivalent enrollment and SRC, please refer to the Frequently-asked Questions section).

A set of corresponding maps follow, one each for elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools. The maps show the boundaries for each school. They are also color-coded to indicate the current utilization of each school. If a school has a utilization rate of 115% (enrollment is 15% above its SRC, it is deemed overcrowded by the Baltimore County Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance (APFO).

Frequently-asked Questions (FAQ) about Enrollments, Projections, and Capacities

When are enrollments counted?

The official enrollments for all schools are calculated on September 30 in accordance with Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) policies.

What is full time equivalent enrollment?

Full time equivalent (FTE) enrollment is an adjustment made to an elementary school's total enrollment for the purpose of comparing enrollment to a school's official capacity. FTE enrollment factors 100% of students in Kindergarten through Grade 5, and 50% of students in prekindergarten and preschool because they are half-day programs. No FTE conversion is required at secondary schools.

For elementary schools, the FTE calculation is:

(Preschool x .5, rounded up to a whole number) +

(Prekindergarten x .5, rounded up to a whole number) + Kindergarten through Grade 5.

For elementary schools piloting a full day Prekindergarten program, the FTE calculation is:

(Preschool x .5, rounded up to a whole number) + Prekindergarten through Grade 5.

How often are enrollment projections updated?

School system enrollment projections are updated annually to ensure that trend information is current and the latest data are available.

Are enrollment projections accurate?

In alignment with BCPS' established performance standards, the target accuracy for systemwide projections is 99%. This goal has been met consistently for the past several years. For September 30, 2020, the accuracy was 95.26% accuracy). The target accuracy for individual schools is +/- 7.00% of the total enrollment.

What is a "planning area"?

For planning purposes, BCPS identifies five geographic areas of Baltimore County:

? Southwest Area (SW) ? Northwest Area (NW) ? Central Area (C) ? Northeast Area (NE) ? Southeast Area (SE)

Elementary, middle, and high schools are associated with each of the five areas. While schools are identified to a specific geographic area, there are cases where attendance boundaries do not completely align across elementary, middle, and high schools. Thus, there are cases where students may attend a school associated with one area for elementary school, but attend a school associated with an adjacent area for middle and/or high school.

Baltimore County Public Schools Organizational Structures,

(Definitions of Schools, Centers, and Programs) School Year 2020?2021

Baltimore County Public Schools (BCPS) defines three organizational structures that are used to deliver instructional programs to students. By definition, each of these organizational structures have designated instructional staff. The three structures are Schools, Centers, and Programs. The two criteria used to distinguish among these three types are student enrollment and test information reporting. In most cases, each school, center, or program is housed in a separate and distinct facility, whether owned or leased by the Board of Education (Board). However, since exceptions do exist, the following definitions are applied for clarity.

School ? An organizational structure where students are counted as enrolled and testing information is reported. All testing information is reported from schools. Schools are further designated as Elementary Schools, Middle Schools, High Schools, Other Schools, and Special Education Schools. A Charter school meets these same requirements for a public facility with a contract to operate under the supervision of the BCPS Board of Education.

Center ? An organizational structure where students are counted as enrolled but testing information is not reported. Testing information for students enrolled at a center is reported from the home school of the student. Most centers are alternative centers, with the exception of Campfield Early Learning Center.

Program ? An organizational structure where no students are counted as enrolled and testing information is not reported. Students are counted as enrolled at their home schools. Testing information for students participating in a program is reported from the home school of the student.
