- Zones the number of students in attendance at Calhoun Falls High does
not meet the projected number of students that should be in attendance,
it is lower than projections based on feeder school data.
- Zones - the number of students in attendance at Dixie High does not meet
the projected number of students that should be in attendance, it is
higher than projections based on feeder school data.
- Population-Shifts in student population within district suggest that
zone policies are not being enforced.
- Population-The population drop for the overall district can be explained
based on feeder school data.
- Population-The drop in individual school populations can not be
explained based on the same data with the exception to school zones and
transfer of students.

- Zones- in order to maintain
equal populations in all schools student records should be examined
to ensure students are attending zoned schools.
- Zones Zones should be examine to see if they are meeting the
respective schools needs for population requirements.
- Zones- Zones should be re-drawn to insure diverse population.

- In 1995 Diamond Hill Elementary was built. It was decided that the
school was to be a feeder school for Dixie and Calhoun Falls High. There
was an understanding that when the school was built that the classes as
of 1995 K5 7 would graduate Diamond Hill and continue to Dixie High.
Starting 8 years after this agreement (2003)the graduating class would
then split and feed the respective Zoned Schools based on School Board
attendance zone policies.
- Based on Feeder school Data for Dixie High and Calhoun Falls High
compared with actual High school reported attendance this has not been
carried out.
- By averaging the attendance of the 7th grade class at Diamond
Hill 2003-2007 we can project attendance for Dixie High and Calhoun
Falls High. By adding the number of students in the 7th grade
class at Diamond Hill 2003-2007 and dividing this number by 5 and divide
that number by 2 an average of 19.5 (rounded to 19 for ease of
calculations) students per year can be projected.
- Projecting an increase of 19 students per 8th grade class
starting in 2003 and ending in 2007 would look like the following Table.
