About Forecasting Student Population With the TFPG

Providing student population forecasting and planning services requires a wide range of skills, accompanied by knowledge, patience, and a genuine concern for excellence.  We customize student population forecasting models based on local data, the context of the school demographics, region, and  surrounding geographical areas.  The TFPG can complete student population forecasts  for school districts, planning districts, and state agencies quickly and efficiently. 

We will contract to deliver a 5-year system level student population forecast within 5 working days after we receive the data. Likewise, a 10-year forecast can be delivered within 10 working days after we receive the data.  The price for this service is based on the amount of work that TFPG must complete to retrieve the required data and the development of a customized forecasting model.  The more data provided by the client, the lower the cost of the forecast.

A 10-year forecast by school attendance area by grade level, accompanied by a demographic analysis, will require approximately 25 - 30 working days.  This extended service may include demographic and area analysis plus density maps by census tract and/or block .  The cost of this service is dependent on the amount of detail required by the client such as density mapping and detailed descriptions and explanations of demographic trends.
