April 5, 2006 <br />Student Generation Rate — Mukilteo School District <br />This document describes the methodology used by Larry Browning, M.A. to calculate student generation <br />rates for the Mukilteo School District, and provides results of the calculations. <br />Using data files from the Metroscan database, Snohomish County Planning and Development Services <br />staff provided addresses and land use codes of all new construction between the years 1998 to 2004 <br />within the Mukilteo school district. This data was "cleaned up" by eliminating any records that did not <br />contain sufficient information (such as a missing site address) to generate a match from the student record <br />data. <br />Using data files from the Mukilteo student records database, District staff provided student addresses and <br />grade levels of K-12 students attending the District as of February 2006. The student addresses were <br />cleaned up and reformatted to be consistent with the Metroscan method of storing addresses. <br />Data from the two sources was electronically matched to obtain the following student generation rates: <br />Single Family Rates: The records of 2,048 single family units were compared with 14,140 registered <br />students in the District, and the following count of matches and calculated rates were found: <br />Please Note: Calculated rates for individual grades may not equal overall totals due to rounding. <br />A-2 <br />09/05/06 <br />K <br />61 <br />0.030 <br />1 <br />91 <br />0.044 <br />2 <br />81 <br />0.040 <br />3 <br />66 <br />0.032 <br />4 <br />86 <br />0.042 <br />5 <br />104 <br />0.051 <br />6 <br />81 <br />0.040 <br />7 <br />82 <br />0.040 <br />8 <br />89 <br />0.043 <br />9 <br />84 <br />0.041 <br />10 <br />81 <br />0.040 <br />11 <br />76 <br />0.037 <br />12 <br />60 <br />0.029 <br />K-5 <br />489 <br />0.239 <br />6-8 <br />252 <br />0.123 <br />9-12 <br />301 <br />0.147 <br />K-12 <br />1042 <br />0.509 <br />Please Note: Calculated rates for individual grades may not equal overall totals due to rounding. <br />A-2 <br />09/05/06 <br />
