Let us build your organization a turnkey system that incorporates unique data methodologies and data sources. Leveraging the expert services of Baragar’s Analytics Team, our interactive enrolment projection software facilitates analysis of staffing and capacity requirements for 15 years into the future.
Demographic Dynamics
Features of our customized, turnkey system and services include:
- Every year, Baragar’s expert Analysts build a set of 15-year projections (by grade and by program) for each school, as well as for the jurisdiction overall.
- An intuitive interface allows end-users to easily inject the impact of changing demographic trends.
- Easily add the impact of planned new housing developments.
Unique Data Sources
- Remove the hassle from your legacy processes and let us build the complex infrastructure that’s required to access external data sources.
- Baragar uses unique, non-Census data sources to provide an annually-updated history of the youth population, including pre-schoolers and births, for the area served by each school.
- We build relationships between where students reside vs. where they attend school, which facilitates a cross-boundary analysis component within projections.
Powerful yet simplified analysis
- Built-in reporting includes analyses of capture rate, cross-boundary enrolment pressure, facility utilization and the potential requirement for capital planning.
- Easily examine ‘what-if’ scenarios related to boundary changes, school openings and closures, grade reorganization and magnet program (re)locations.
- A full complement of reports and graphs – and a familiar interface – allows new users to become experts in no time!
