Geographic Capacity Analysis Overview
The Brevard County School District extends about 70 miles from north to south and includes 82 schools. Additionally, many schools are located on the barrier islands and access the mainland by the major causeways. Because of this geography, locational analysis is an important consideration in the facilities planning process. While the overall data for the district as a whole shows that there is significant available capacity, the geographic location of that capacity is often inaccessible in an efficient and reliable manner.
The picture shown on this page provides a general overview of the Brevard County geography and the locations of the district owned elementary and secondary schools.
Section 8 of this 2017-2018 Student Accommodation Plan is a map series that depicts the capacity utilization of Brevard Public Schools. The maps are organized around three variables:
• School Level - Elementary, Middle, and High
 **Pleasenotethatthejunior/seniorhighschools are shown on both the middle school and high school maps because they have concurrent middle school and high school attendance
boundaries.
• Year of Student Enrollment Statistics
 School Year 2016-17 - Actual Enrollment
 School Year 2021-22 - Projected Enrollment • Capacity Type
 Total Factored Capacity – School capacity including relocatable classrooms
 Permanent Factored Capacity – School capacity in permanent buildings only
The map series looks at each school level by year and provides a visual narrative of numerical values representing total factored capacity utilization versus the permanent factored capacity utilization. A detailed account of the calculations can be found in Section 3 and Section 5 of this report. These choropleth maps display the school attendance boundaries with a color in relation to the range of utilization rates. The red areas have the highest utilization rates while the green areas have the lowest utilization rates. Comparing the total capacity maps with the permanent capacity maps shows whether or not a particular school is already using relocatable capacity. A school without any relocatable classrooms will have the same utilization rate for total and permanent capacity and each map will show the same color.
