Migration map shows 77.2% in-district retention; transfers tied to programs and transport
Summary
Munetrix’s Migration App showed Westwood Heights retains 77.2% of resident students, with notable flows to neighboring districts and transfers influenced by siblings, transportation and special programs.
The board was shown visualizations of student movement that identified where students leave and where incoming students originate. Presenters reported that Westwood Heights retains 77.2% of students living in its residential boundaries, a figure the presentation described as above the regional average, and singled out transfers to Flushing, Linden Charter, Beecher and Flint City.
Presenters noted that family factors (siblings), transportation availability and specialized programs (such as special education placements and school-of-choice options) account for a portion of migration. The presentation recommended continued monitoring of market share to support targeted retention strategies.
