Westwood Heights enrollment projection shows stability, grade-level shifts noted
Summary
Munetrix presented historical enrollment dating to 2008 and projected stable or slightly rising enrollment for Westwood Heights, highlighting grade-level spikes in 7th and 9th grades and a decline in 10th grade; cohort-survival tracking was recommended to target retention.
At the Oct. 15, 2025 meeting the presentation reviewed historical enrollment back to 2008 and projected that Westwood Heights will experience stable or slightly increasing enrollment, in contrast to many districts facing declines. Presenters pointed to notable grade-level changes — spikes in seventh and ninth grades and a decline in tenth — and recommended using cohort-survival analysis to target retention and transitions.
The board was shown grade-by-grade visualizations and asked to consider targeted outreach and programming for grades showing dropoffs. The presentation also linked migration and program placement (special education and school-of-choice factors) to enrollment planning.
