SchoolSite for ArcGIS illustrates the continuing commitment that DDP has given to providing K-12 school administrators with the most up-to-date planning solutions based upon Esri technology Jack Dangermond Esri President/Founder SchoolSite for ArcGIS Master Plan Your School District From Your Desktop Davis Demographics SchoolSite for ArcGIS is a geographic information system (GIS) application for school districts based upon leading-edge mapping technology used by thousands of businesses and organizations. GIS links your school district data to intelligent maps, which provides an extraordinary ability to visualize the demographics of your district and strategically plan for the future using a variety of mapping tools. Offered as extensions to industry-standard ArcGIS mapping software, SchoolSite is designed specifically to solve a wide variety of issues that districts have to constantly address during the planning process. With the SchoolSite Redistricting Extension for ArcGIS, districts can analyze and report on any data about their students, modify attendance boundaries and create updated maps and demographic reports. The SchoolSite Projection Extension provides comprehensive forecasting tools using a highly accurate proven model to predict short and long-term future enrollment. These forecasts are automatically integrated into the Redistricting Extension for determining future site needs, analyzing the opening and/or closing of school sites, and providing an unlimited number of potential future attendance boundary scenarios. And SchoolSite works seamlessly with ArcGIS Online to web-enable your maps and communicate your results to district staff, departments and the public. SchoolSite can assist in finding answers to the many difficult planning questions facing your school district, and to visually present the results in an easily understood way.
Redistricting Extension Attendance Boundary Planning and Reports/Facility Siting Tools Powerful SchoolSite redistricting tools can help adjust attendance boundaries, simulate grade reconfigurations, generate a variety of reports, and help locate the need for new facilities. The SchoolSite Redistricting Extension for ArcGIS provides a user friendly wizard-based method to create and modify an unlimited number of attendance boundary plans along with associated demographic reports. Boundary plans are based upon the interactive reassignment of building blocks of small planning/study areas using current or forecasted student populations. In addition to using current attendance boundaries, initial plans can be developed using one of several methods: assign study areas to closest school, assign to closest school assuming equal school capacity, or assign to closest school based upon individual school capacity. Study areas can be individually reassigned to various schools to balance enrollment to site capacities. Additional sites can be added or existing sites deleted simulating the opening or closing of schools. As boundaries are modified, changes in student demographics are automatically reflected in various tables. Additional population and socio-economic statistics for each boundary can be obtained using online demographic data and reports. Boundary plans can be immediately published as live maps on the web for sharing internally with district staff and/or the community. Key Functions Added to ArcGIS : Enhanced student geocoding/mapping tools Unlimited boundary plans through the interactive assignment of user-defined study areas Comprehensive reporting capabilities including counts and percentages of students by grade level, multiple grade groupings, special programs, schools of enrollment or other data fields (complete flexibility in loading and using student data) Export student statistic reports to Excel Street Directory lists with address ranges and schools of assignment Boundary planning using choice of current residing students or forecasted resident students Open enrollment impact reports including rules-based boundary planning to estimate actual school enrollment SchoolSite includes our proven student forecasting model integrated into ArcGIS for visualization of future trends. Key Functions Added to ArcGIS : Enrollment Forecasting Extension Future Enrollment Estimating Tools The Enrollment Forecasting Extension includes an accurate and proven projection model integrated within ArcGIS for developing short and long-range student forecasts. The forecasts are accessible within the Redistricting Extension for powerful forward-thinking boundary planning and site location analysis. Create an unlimited number of enrollment forecast scenarios using what-if analysis of various model inputs Auto-run of the projection model guarantees projections are always in-sync with user changes to projection variables User update of projection variables through spreadsheet type interface Auto-determination of cohort/mobility factors using historical student data Optional development map layer and timing of new construction projects automatically incorporated in the projections Projections developed for each year up to ten years plus optional district build-out for long-range site studies Projection reports at each level of geography including study area, attendance zone, user-defined regions and districtwide Reports can incorporate multiple grade groupings to simulate impact of grade reconfigurations Dynamically display enrollment projections through color-coded maps labelled with forecasted students Enrollment projections are automatically linked with redistricting plans to simulate the impact on attendance boundaries if forecasts are modified
Extensive demographic reporting is available in all of our software applications on the desktop and the web.
