Baaed on the migration patterns noted earlier in this report, it is expected that the percent of Negro enrollment in each of the three elementary centers will remain reasonably close to the city-wide average, at least over the next twelve years. Hence, a.reasonable degree of integration is assured. The discussion of the elementary center districting would not be complete without at least commenting an the flexibility for adjusting to unexpected enrollment increases. If each of the buildings is restricted to use by grades PK-3, additions can easily be made without limiting the recreation program.

- 126 Two Middle Schools Phase 2 calls for the construction of a new middle school in Ward 2 and the conversion of the present junior high school to use as a middle school. At the completion of Phase 2, the total enrollment in grades 4-8 should be divided into districts similar to those shown in Map VI-2. While the enrollment situation should definitely be re-assessed before implementing any particular districting pattern, the best estimate of enrollment in the two schools (using the districts of Map VI-2)'to found in Table VI-4.

The sizable anticipated loss between 1970 and 1976 is due 'primarily to expected expansion in non-public schools. An imaginative program at the middle school level can hopefully reduce the size of this expected loss. (It should be remembered that the "high" estimate calls for a city-wide 4-8 enrollment of 1,408 in 1976.) This, two-district plan is designed to achieve a reasonable degree of racial balance. The Negro percentages based on 1964 ,

REPRODUCED FROM TOE COIISCTIONS OF THE MANUSCRIPT DIVISION, LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

- 128 enrollments and the districts of Map VI-2 are 40 and 45 percent res-pec'* tively at the Englewood Junior High and the proposed Allison Park Middle School. Without any change in the districting of Map VI-2, . - i . these enrollments should remain in reasonable balance through 1976. Moreover, should unanticipated population shifts occur, considerable flexibility exists for adjusting district lines to maintain racially balanced schools. This whole matter of maintaining an integrated learning experience in the Englewood schools merits further comment. With an overall public school Negro percentage of 42 percent, it is clear that the cooperation of civil-rights leaders, non-public school officials, and even surrounding communities will be required in assuring a truly integrated learning experience for everychild in Englewood. Civil-rights leaders and, for that matter, all Americans must continually encourage the development-of racially integrated~rei^ential patternsr While there is no single solution to the problems of racial imbalance facing ,* our public schools, the development of integrated residential neighborhoods appears to be the best way of preventing extreme racial concentration in school enrollments. It is incumbent

upon both public and non-public school officials to work together

- 129 { . ; in providing for all students an educational experience which reflects the pluralism of our democratic society. The Englewood

Public Schools should explore all possible opportunities for*7engaging in cooperative efforts with surrounding communities as a means of

assuring both a socio-economic and racial cross-section in school j -j enrollments. Expansion of the Bergen County student exchange proj i

gram and the acceptance of tuition students into the Englewood schools are two possibilities for accomplishing this end. In summary, two advantages of the,two-district middle school merit further emphasis: 1. It is a flexible plan in the sense that unexpected enrollment increases can be accommodated.at either"of the two middle schools without eliminating needed recreational areas. An addition large enough to accommodate the city-wide middle school outlined in the alternative plan would put a 'real strain on special facilities and would, in all probability, deplete the present recreational area at the Dwight Morrow site. By not adding to the present junior high school building at this time, the 8 to 12 classroom addition originally designed for this building is still possible. 2. Allison Park has great potential as a possible school site. The wooded surroundings and the large acreage could be effectively utilized in creating a school which is both physically attractive and educationally sound. Furthermore, a school in Allison Park would provide a better educational service to residents in that-area of the City.

Single Senior High School Districting at the single senior high school is no problem. The enrollment estimates for grades 9-12 indicate that the high

2.

Financial Implications of the Plan No plan for future school organization can be made without

some consideration of cost.

While precise cost estimates must

await the actual drawing of educational specifications, it is possible to provide a usable outline of the probable cost of various components of the recommended plan. Following this general outline of

costs will be a brief discussion of the community's ability to pay for the plan.

General Building Specifications and Cost Estimates The estimates of this section are based upon per pupil costs of $1, 500 and $2, 500 at the elementary and secondary levels respectively. 32 Because of the specialized facilities needed in the pr^opo^Bed Allison Park Middle School, the secondary school figure of $2, 500 has been used in estimating the cost of that school.

Also, mention should be made of the fact that the total estimated cost of $3, 855, 000 can be reduced substantially by the sale of Engle Street and Liberty properties. A recent appraisal of these two properties set the total sale value at $808, 000.33 It is worth noting that the cost of the Dwight Morrow

REPRODUCED- FROM THE COLLECTIONS OF THE MANUSCRIPT DIVISION, LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

- 131 addition as estimated by the Harvard staff is quite close to an in.,, dependent estimate made by the Englewood School Department."'" In this same vein, although the recommended plan is for three PK-3 elementary centers and two 4-8 middle schools in contrast to the Board's tentative plan for three PK-5 centers and a single 6-8 school, the costs of the two plans are not significantly different. 35

Additional Operating Costs Under the recommended plan, transportation will be a substantial, item but a justifiable one in light of the improved educational program and added flexibility. It is estimated that trans-

portation for grades PK-8 under this plan would cost approximately $75, 000 per year. This figure is based on the assumption that all

students living either across the railroad track or over one mile

from their school of attendance will be transported by bus at public expense. It does not appear that maintenance or operating costs will vary appreciably from the tentative plan proposed by the Englewood Board. Obviously, because of smaller sizes, the three

.i

elementary centers will be less costly to operate than in the^Board's ~ PK-5 proposal or the alternate Harvard proposal of PK-4 centers. The two middle schools, on the other hand, will be more expensive than a single center; but this cost will be offset to some degree by the lower elementary center cost figure. Duplication of facilities and staff at the middle school level should not be a serious problem since each facility is large enough to warrant a complete staff and plant.

will in no way threaten this sound financial position.

The estimated

capital expenditure of $3, 855, 000 is clearly within the limits of the additional school borrowing capacity of 4. 3 million dollars. With respect to the required capital expenditure, the City can expect a favorable bonding rate. A sample debt retirement

CONCLUSION

This report is the end result of a full-year- study of Englewood's schools. The recommended form of school organi-

zation (which calls for three FK-3 elementary centers, two 4-8 middle schools, and a single 9-12 high school) outlined in preJ., J vious chapters was not conceived in a vacuum but was developed J .with careful attention to the hopes, aspirations, and expressed needs of Englewood residents and the overall political climate j]

of the community. - ;T '-I*. '

Not only does it represent the best in terms .'_'*'

/of. educational opportunity; but it has been weighed carefully against the sometimes divergent views expressed in interviews with city officials, civic and religious leaders, and school personnel. On the basis of these interviews with various local

leaders, the Harvard staff is of the opinion that the vast majority of Englewood residents will view the total plan as a real step forwardTrrpublic education.
.*

The most important thing, however, is not the specific details of the plan itself but the educational, political, and " ' social guidelines used in its development. Although the Board may decide either on the basis of unexpected future developments or its own superior knowledge of the community to make ,

REPRODUCED FROM THE COLLECTIONS OF THE MANUSCRIPT DIVISION, LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

- 139 certain specific changes in the plan as outlined, it would be a serious mistake to violate the important guidelines and educational values used in its development. The following listing ' -"'l| and discussion of advantages is presented here with the hope that such a violation might be avoided.

1. THE RECOMMENDED PLAN OF SCHOOL ORGANIZATION PROVIDES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR AN IMPROVED EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM. If the continuous social and intellectual development of every child is to become a meaningful .goal in American education, we must continually re-examine traditional approches to learning. While the selfcontained classroom, particularly in the early elementary grades, still has many strengths, the restriction which it places on provision for individual and subgroup differences has caused educators to question its importance to a modern educational program. Two new approaches -- the non-graded concept and team teaching -- are both being examined as possible alternatives to the traditional grade and classroom organization. The plan proposed in this report is clearly consistent with both of these aprfproaches, and has the further advantage of providing specialized teachers and facilities at an earlier period in the child's total educational experience. The incorporation of pre-kindergarten into the regular instructional program and the subsequent recommendation tor three PK-3 elementary centers supports the development of a non-graded and continuous learning experience in the early years of life. The middle school for grades 4-8 compliments this continuous developmental experience of the early years by providing the opportunity for specialized learning and team teaching in the upper elementary years. The comprehensive senior high school for grades 9-12 can provide the specialized and

REPRODUCED FROM THE COIiECTICNS OF TIE MANUSCRIPT DIVISION, LIBRARY OF CCNGRESL

- 140 general competencies of a modern vocational training program and an individualized academic program for the college-bound student. Englewood's willingness to move in the direction of an educational program of this type is evidenced by such innovations as the team teaching program at Engle Street School and the curriculum revisions proposed by the Englewood School Development Project. The organizational plan recommended in this study is designed to encourage the further development of techniques and projects which lead to an improved instructional program in Englewood.

2.

THE RECOMMENDED PLAN PROVIDES FLEXIBILITY FOR LONG-RANGE POPULATION GROWTH. The acquisition of a large site in Allison Park and the construction of a new 4-fa middle school would enhance the opportunity for adjusting to long-range growth in school enrollment. Without this flexibility, serious restrictions might someday be placed on school recreation areas. Furthermore, only one school is now located in the Ward 2 area. Since the long-range increases in the public school population are most likely to occur in this area of the City, a school in. Allison Park makes a great deal of sense.

3.

THE PLAN PROVIDES FOR A RACIALLY INTEGRATED LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR ALL STUDENTS. Englewood's present school organization and districting pattern recognizes the importance of an integrated learning experience for all students. Recent population shifts', however, make it desirable to implement a districting pattern similar to that outlined in the recommended plan of school organization. Assuming a continuation of recent migration patterns in the Englewood area, these districts, with only minor modification, should assure a racially integrated learning experience for all students. This provision must, of course, be accompanied by carwfai-atttfntiorf to school program. Not only must' each child's interests and aptitudes be challenged, but

REPRODUCED FR34 THE COIXBOTCNS OF THE MHNUSCRIFT DIVISION, UBRARS? OF CCNGRESS

- 141 the school must also provide hii-n the opportunity for*' broad participation in school activities and interaction with fellow students. The school must continually strive to equip each student with the social and technical knowledge needed for a satisfactory life in a society which emphasizes both change and mobility.

Implementation of the Harvard staff's recommendation on school organization or any other plan which preserves its basic advantages will obviously require an extensive program of dissemination. While the Harvard staff offers no step-by-step

procedure for gaining community acceptance, it is suggested that this study or a summary thereof be distributed to the people of Englev/ood. I oil owing a careful examination of the Harvard

report and after hearing from all responsible interests in the community, the Board should make appropriate modifications in the recommendations as outlined and then set in motion the dissemination and implementation of its own long-range plans. ^Thls Thatterr of dissemination is of crucial importance. It should be mentioned that one of the most frequent complaints

made of the School Board is its failure to keep people informed. While the Harvard staff is in no position to pass judgment on 'the validity of this complaint, it is suggested that the Board make every effort to articulate both the Harvard report and its

REPRODUCED FROM THE COIiECTIONS OF THE MANUSCRIPT DIVISION, LIBRARY OF CONGRESS -

- 142 own revisions thereof to the local citizenry. The achievement

of the major educational values inherent in the recommendations of this report, namely, the facilitation of an improved educational program, the flexibility for adjusting to long-range population growth, and the provision of a racially integrated learning experience for all students, is very much dependent upon the Board's commitment to improved education and its ability to communicate this commitment to the people of Englewood.

APPENDIX B EXPLANATION OF METHODOLOGY USED IN ESTIMATING ENROLLMENTS

163

EXPLANATION OF METHODOLOGY USED I N ESTIMATING ENROLLMENTS

The basic methodology used by the Harvard staff treats each of the major factors affecting school enrollment separately. These factors are survival births, pre-school and school-age
r net

migration, private and parochial school enrollments, grade

retention, and dropouts. Before presenting an analysis of the individual factors, two procedural matters should be discussed. First, while no detail ed estimate of schol enrollment on the basis of race has been included in this report, some of the variables have been analyzed on a racial basis, at least when the required data was available. Reliable data on a racial
;

basis was simply not available for such factors as survival births, grade retentions, and school dropouts. Despite these

omissions, certain speculative estimates of the racial-composition of future school enrollments have been used in outlining the school districting plan of Part Two. Second, the basic multivariable method was used in estimating enrollments in grades 1-12 only. This method could

not be used for pre-kindergarten and kindergarten enrollments because of problems encountered in obtaining past enrollment

164

data in the required form.

The actual methodology used in

estimating enrollments in these two programs will be explained following the analysis of the six factors forming the basis of the multivariable method. Let us proceed with the examination of these factors.

Examination Of Basic Factors

Survival Births The most obvious source of future school enrollment in Englewood is the births to Englewood residents. In order to estimate the total grade 1-12 enrollment in Englewood through the 1976-77 school year, it is first necessary to estimate ,the number of yearly births between the present year and 1970. By applying a six-year survival rate to these birth estimates, _we_obtain_an estimate of the survival births over the next twelve years. The term survival birth, as used here, is simply

another name for the potential grade 1 enrollment. Making this estimate of survival births requires a determination of the approximate number of women of childbearing age (child-bearing age is considered to be the -15-44 range) in 1970 and some indication of the number of children

CONGRESS

165

these women are likely to bear. The first steps, therefore, are . . :**s-. to estimate the net migration of child-bearing women between I960 and 1970 and to apply an appropriate fertility rate to the estimated 1970 child-bearing population computed in this manner. (The fertility rate, for purposes of this study, is defined as the number of births each year per woman in a given group of women. For example, a fertility rate of . 075 would indicate that this group of women bears 75 children for every 1, 000 women in the group.) To arrive at an estimate of the 1960-70 net migration of child-bearing women, a simple projection based on the 195060 rate of net migration could have been used; but because of the fluctuating pattern of population growth in Englewood, the Harvard staff used a slightly different approach for women in the 25-44 age range. This alternative approach was designed >.: .,

/ 1 .J l i J

to reflect the more recent-migration patterns in Englewood and begins with_the_computation of a I960 fertility rate for Engle*

wood women.

The computation of this I960 fertility rate (which

is simply the ratio of the number of I960 resident births to the number of women in the 15-44 age group as 'reported in the I960 United States Census) for the City and each of the four wards is shown in Table B-l.

By making the assumption that Englewood1 s fertility rate remained fairly constant through 1964, the staff used the resident birth totals for 1964 to estimate the number of childbearing women in Englewood for that same year. (Resident

birth totals for the past ten years are recorded in Table B-2.) The 1964 estimate of child-bearing women obtained in this

manner was then compared with the I960 census enumeration of women. This comparison gave an indication-of the net

^

of net migration was projected over the entire ten-year period, 1960-70, we obtained an estimate of the number of child-bearing women ages 25-44 in 1970. The estimate of child-bearing women in the 15-24 range is obtained by simply adjusting the rates~of migration observed over the 1950-60 period. By applying the

1960 fertility rate to this total estimated number of child-bearing women, we obtain an estimate of the number- of "resident births for the year 1970. A simple interpolation process can be used for filling in the births for all the years between 1964 and 1970. The survival birth estimate can then be completed by simply applying a six-year survival rate to these birth figures. Perhaps this entire procedure can best be explained by showing how it was used in estimating city-wide births in Englewood for 1970. We begin with the.information a recorded in Table B-3. Notice that the net migration must be filled in

before we can actually apply a fertility rate to the estimated 1970 child-bearing population. The first two blanks in the net migration column of Table B-3 are obtained by examining the comparable net migration for the 1950-60 decade anfl then adjusting this rate to conform-to the drop in residential construction noted in Chapter I of'-this-repor-t. The result of this adjusting procedure yields

an estimated 1960-70 net migration of +45 for the 15-19 and 20-24 age groups of Table B-3. Having obtained the net migration for these first two age groups, we now employ the alternative procedure in

These figures come from the 1960 U.S. Census Reports. The survival population is gained by multiplying the 1960 population by the ten-year survival rates provided in P.K. Whelpton's Forecasts of Population of the United States. 1945-1975. For example, multiplying the actual 1960 female population in the 5-9 age group by the survival rate reported in the above-mentioned report yields the 1,127 estimate for the 15-19 age group in 1970.

This

alternative procedure calls for using the I960 fertility rate of Table B-l and the number of resident births for 1964 as recorded in Table B-2 to compute an estimated number of

This net migration figure, +124, represents a four -year city -wide migration factor for women of child-bearing age. By multiplying this figure by 10/4 (since we are actually interested in a ten-year migration figure) and then again by 1/5 (since the 15-39 age group includes five of the age groups included in Table B-3), we arrive at an estimate of the net migration for each age group over the 1960-70 decade. This calculation which is shown below is based on the assumption that the net migration pattern of 1960-64 will continue throughout the entire 1960-70 period:

The +62 figure was reduced to +40 before being applied to the actual I960 population of Table B-3. This reduction was based

upon the assumption that the rate of population growth in Englewood is declining-SIowly and is not likely to increase again be-fore._19TB._._The jrecent trend in residential Co^-truction shown _mJTable 1-9 of Chapter I lends support to this assumption.

standard six-year survival figure to the birth estimate of 473. This computation results in an estimated survival birth figure for 1970 (or an estimated potential grade 1 enrollment for 1976) of 456. After repeating this same basic procedure for each of the four wards and interpolating back to the years for which birth totals are already known, we arrive at the survival birth estimates as given in Table B-5. These survival births will be

used in estimating public school enrollment by the multivariable method. Pre-School Net Migration One cannot assume that the survival births listed in Table B-5 represent a reasonable estimate of public and nonpublic school enrollmen*s^in grade 1. Children of pre-school age move in and out of the community between the time of birth and entrance into grade 1. The pre-school net migration is simply the balance, or net effect of this in- and out-migration for a given age group of children. The estimates used in this particular study are based upon the pre-school migration rates for children born in 1957 and 1958. The rate of net migration for children in these two

After examining the migration figures of Table B-6 and making certain intuitive judgments about the changing character of pre-school migration activity, the Harvard staff arrived at the estimated pre-school migration figures of Table B-7. These net migration figures will be used later for estimating grade 1 enrollments in Englewood. School-Age Net Migration In analyzing migration patterns for school-age children, the Harvard staff found a slight positive net migration in the early elementary grades follow^eAiy'a negative migration pattern in later years. This analysis which was based upon a comparison of the number of school children surviving from the 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 age groups in I960 tP the corresponding age groups in October, 1964, is summarized in Table B-8. As an index to the racial composition of this school-age net migration pattern, the Harvard staff also compared broader age groupings of children classified as white and nonwhite in the I960 United States Census with the corresponding groups in the October 1, 1964

These net migration figures are given on a per year basis and reflect the overall pattern of migration during the 1960-64 period. The +3.71 for age group 6, for example, means that an average of 3.71 students were added to this age group in each year between the time the group was 6 years of age in 1960 and 10 years of age in 1964.

This latter comparison which is

Based upon the analysis of public school migration and student density in Chapter II, we hypothesize that a good part of the out-migration indicated by Tables B-8 and: B-9! occurred in 1962 and 1963. This same reasoning indicates that the "most

probable" estimate of future school-age net migration in Englewood should reflect a smaller loss of school-age population than

The racial classification of this table is consistent with that used in f.S. Census Enumeration District Reports. Because almost all nonwhites in Englewood are of the Negro race, the figures approximate the whiteNegro net migration rates for the 1960-64 period. It should be noted'that figures in this table represent the yearly net migration for the entire 5-9 age group. The total figures in this table can also be obtained by adding the individual age group migration rates of Table B-0. For example, the Ward 1 total of -1.0 is actually the algebraic sum of the individual entries in the Ward 1 column of Table B-8.

The net migration figures in this table are expressed in terms of grades rather than ages but generally reflect the larger negative net migration of the older age groups.

that the "high" and "low" estimates of Tables B-18 and B-19 are based on different rates of school-age migration than those, given in Table B-10. Non-Public School Enrollments Englewood's present and future non-public school enrollments are discussed in Chapter II. For purposes of estimating future public school enrollments, we need only to examine the non-public school enrollment estimate for grades 1-12.

As indicated in Chapter III, the "high" estimate of *f. Table B-18 is based on a different set of assumptions respecting private and parochial school enrollments than that used in the "most probable" estimate. Specifically, the assumptions behind the public school enrollment estimates of Tables B-17, B-18, and B-19 are as follows:

Table B-17 ("Most Probable") The three major private schools in Englewood will continue to draw approximately 40 percent of their enrollments from Englewood and, with the additional facilities already under construction, this will mean , '.-', aa increased resident Englewood enrollment of approximately 100 students in grades 1-12 over the next ten years. In addition to this increase attributed to facilities already under construction at the private schools, the parochial and private schools 'nave certain long- '. range expansion plans which account for the remainder of the total increase of 309 students shown in Table A-ll, Appendix A. Table B-18 ("High") "This-estimate reduces-the expected increase in nonpublic school enrollment to that whick, according to administrators in the various schools, is almost certain to occur. This reduction gives an estimated non-public school enrollment increase of 176. Table B-19 ("Low") The assumptions about non-public enrollments used in obtaining the "low" estimate of Table B-19 are exactly the same as those made in the "most probable" estimate. Hence, the total expected nonpublic school increase is again 309 students.

Grade Retention

Ni

On the basis of grade retention figures compiled by the Englewood School Department for the 1961-62, 1962-63, and 1963-64 school years, the Harvard staff estimated grade retention rates (these are figures indicating the percentage of students who are not promoted at the end of a given school year) for grades 1-9. Retention rates after grade 9 are negligible. Because of

the availability of retention data on an individual school basis, the staff decided to assign slightly different retention rates to each of the four wards in Englewood. These individual ward estimates are, of course, quite speculative. The city-wide and individual ward retention rates are expressed in decimal form in Table B-ll. Notice that the grade retention rates become quite small after grade 3.

Dropouts

" Because of compulsory school attendance requirements,

students rarely withdraw from school before grade 9. In grades 9-12, however, the dropout factor can sometimes have a significant effect upon the size of school enrollment. Because Englewood1 s dropout rates are low, this factor is not as important: in j^ determining future enrollment, in Englewood as it would be in../ many other communities. The estimated future dropout rates by grade and area of the City are given in decimal form in Table B-12. These esti- ' -"'-//. ''"'-.' mates are based on the experience of the past two years. ,,-.,.'

Consolidation Of Basic Factors Into An Estimating Procedure Now that the six basic factors have been analyzed, the next step is to combine the estimated values of each into a forecasting procedure which will give an indication of public school enrollments in grades 1-12 through 1976. This forecasting or estimating procedure for grades 1 and 2 is illustrated in Tables B-13 and B,-14". (The estimated enrollments of these two tables have been rounded to the nearest whole number in Table B-17.) The procedure used in grades 3-12 is exactly the same as that used for grade 2, While the operational formulas indicated at the top of Tables B-13 and B-14 should clarify the procedure used, it might be well to point out the source of the figures used in making the estimates shown in these two tables: Table B-13 'Column 1 - Table B-5

Column 3 - Table B-10 Column 4 - Table A-ll, Appendix A Column 5 - Computed from rates of Table B-ll Column 6 - Computed from rates of Table B-ll Column 7 - There are no dropouts at the grade 2 level. Dropout rates for grades 9-12 are found in Table B-12.

The tables used for estimating the "most probable" enrollments in grades 3-12, while not included in this report, are on file at the Englewood School Department. Also on file at

the School Department are the corresponding tables used in the "high" and "low" estimates and the estimates for various subsections of the City. Because all calculations involved in the

estimating procedure were done on a high-speed digital computer, it would be a relatively simple procedure to produce alternative estimates to those compiled by the Harvard staff. Any alternatives would simply be based upon different assumptions than those used in the "most probable, " "high, " and "low" estimates of this report.

Pre-Kindergarten And Kindergarten Enrollments

The procedure outlined in Tables B-13 and B-14 is used only for estimating enrollments in grades 1-12. Hence, the

explanation of methodology is not complete without considering ^ the procedure used in estimating enrollments in pre-kindergarten and kindergarten. Pre-Kindergarten As indicated in Table B-17, the present public school prekindergarten enrollment in Englewood is 153. The Harvard staff, -after consulting Englewood school officials, estimates that this enrollment will probably reach 275 by 1976, an increase of 122 over'the current enrollment. Most of this increase is not antici

pated until after 1970, when the pre-kindergarten is expected to become part of the regular elementary school program. The total increase has been-distributed to the various wards in a manner designed to reflect the individual ward percentages of the estimated kindergarten enrollment in 1976. The procedure results in the following distribution of the 122 additional prekindergarten students: Ward 1 Ward 2 '.'-. : i ' Ward 3 Ward 4 * TOTAL ' 122 53 39 10 20

By adding these additional students to the present prekindergarten enrollment and using a process of interpolation for the intervening years, we arrive at the estimated pre-kindergarten enrollments of Table B-15. Table B-15 Estimated Public School Pro-Kindergarten Enrollment* 1964-1976

Kindergarten After estimating grade 1 enrollments through 1976-77 in the manner outlined in-Table B-13, the kindergarten enrollment . . ' * for the same period was estimated by employing a grade 1-kindergarten ratio based on the experience of the past four years. The

termination of the kindergarten program at St. Cecilia Grammar School in September, 1964, was taken into account in arriving at this ratio. The effect of this discontinuance -of kindergarten

classes at St. Cecilia Grammar School upon public school kindergarten enrollments can be seen by examining Table II-1 of Chapter II. Notice should be taken of the large increase in public school

kindergarten enrollment in the 1964-65 school year. Using this survival method in reverse (the reverse idea comes from the fact that we start with grade 1 enrollment in year Y and work back to kindergarten enrollment in year Y-l rather than the usual kindergarten to grade 1 approach), the Harvard staff estimates that kindergarten enrollments will decrease over the next twelve years. The specific estimates for the City and individual wards are given in Table B-16. Having explained the procedure used in estimating prekindergarten and kindergarten enrollments, we complete the explanation of methodology. Summary tables for the "most probable, "

SUMMARY OF ENGLEWOOD REPORT Center for Field Studies Harvard Graduate School of Education May, 1965

SUMMARY OF ENGLEWOOD REPORT

Englewood's experience in recent years is a dramatic example of the pressures being placed upon public education. Events of national

significance such as the rapid growth of population in urban centers, the expansion of segregated residential patterns, and the increased specialization of our occupational structure have encouraged changes in traditional approaches to education. The Englewood schools have clearly gone beyond conventional patterns to seek new resources and means in dealing with educational problems. The use of federal funds and foundation grants to

support experimental and special education projects, innovative programs in pre-school education and team teaching, and university resources to aid in planning are representative of Englewood's effort to meet the challenge of a modern educational program. In order to take an objective look at past events and to establish guidelines for future improvement and extension of educational opportunity, the Englewood School Board asked the Center for Field Studies at Harvard University to study certain aspects of its school system and to suggest future directions for change. The primary task requested of the Harvard

staff was to test the Board's tentative plans for school organization against a careful examination of Englewood's present and projected school enrollment. Of secondary importance was a testing of the school system's

- 2plans for curriculum, personnel, facilities, and finance. This report summarizes the results of the Harvard study. The intent is to highlight the major suggestions and recommendations contained in a more comprehensive report which has been presented to members of the Englewood Board of Education. Most of these suggestions and recom-

mendations relate to Harvard's proposed plan of school organization in Englewood. For organizational reasons, the summary has been divided The first part summarizes the results of a detailed

into two basic parts.

analysis of school enrollments in Englewood and the second outlines the recommended form of school organization.

PART I ANALYSIS OF SCHOOL ENROLLMENTS

Realistic solutions to a community's educational needs depend upon a careful examination of present and future school enrollments. Using a school census of October 1, 1964, population data recorded in the I960 United States Census reports, and School Department records, the Harvard staff examined the size and composition of present enrollments and made "most probable," "high," and "low" estimates of the size of future public school enrollments in Englewood. A multivariable approach which accounts for recent trends in such key variables as births, net migration, non-public school enrollment, dropouts, and grade retention was used for all three estimates.

Present Enrollments The total enrollment in the Englewood Public Schools on October 1, 1964, was 3, 973. This total enrollment includes fifteen non-resident students and represents an increase of 284 over the previous year. Most of this increase is attributed to the introduction of a city-wide pre-kindergarten program at Lincoln School and the termination of kindergarten classes at St. Cecilia Grammar School. The location of the various public schools is shown on Map 1 and a summary of the enrollments by school and race is shown in Table 1.

Included in this figure are 23 special students, several of whom are non-resident students attending on a tuition basis. Included in this figure are 27 students enrolled in classes for educable and neurologically impaired students. The school census of October 1, 1964, indicates a resident nonpublic school enrollment of 1,430 in grades K-12. On comparing this

figure with the K-12 resident public school enrollment, we find that 27. 3 percent of Englewood1 s resident enrollment attend non-public schools. The comparable figure for the 1961-62 school year was 25.9 percent. The proportion of public and non-public school students in various parts of Englewood is shown in Map 2. The area with the largest percent of non-

public school enrollment is located in Ward 1.

Estimates of Future Public School Enrollment Because of the uncertainties of future growth in Englewood, three different estimates -- a "high, " "low, " and "most probable" -- have been prepared. Only the "most probable" estimate is considered in this sum-

mary report. As indicated in Table 2, an overall loss of approximately

This expected loss is concentrated in

the elementary grades and is due to planned private and parochial school expansion and the declining rate of residential construction in Englewood. This "most probable" estimate of public school enrollment has been used in establishing space needs for the recommended school building program of Part II.

P A R T II RECOMMENDED FORM OF SCHOOL ORGANIZATION

The primary task requested of the Center for Field Studies was to test the Board's tentative plans for school organization and to suggest possible modifications. This aspect of the study became somewhat more

complicated last fall when the Board of Education was unable to obtain the Creche site for future school expansion. This site was of crucial

importance in the Board's tentative plan to convert Roosevelt School to an elementary center for grades PK-5. The most important factors in judging alternative plans of organization were educational program, the condition and possible future uses of various school buildings, the size and racial composition of enrollments, and the financial ability of the community. After testing several patterns of school organization against criteria in each of these general areas, the study staff decided on a plan that calls for three elementary centers for grades PK-3 (at the Cleveland, Quarles, and Roosevelt Schools), two middle schools for grades 4-8 (one at the present junior high school and the other to be constructed on or adjacent to Allison Park), and, finally, the expansion of the Dwight Morrow High School to include grades 9-12. This plan assumes that the Allison Park site can be acquired for

school use; however, because of the possibility that certain legal problems might develop over its acquisition, the Harvard staff has prepared an

alternative or backup plan.

This second part of the summary report

presents the major components of the recommended plan of school organization and outlines its educational advantages for the City of Englewood. The Building Program and Suggested Districting Patterns Implementation of the proposed PK-3, 4-8, 9-12 form of school organization will require a series of construction and remodeling projects. Specifically, the proposed building program is divided into three phases as follows: Phase 1 (1965-67) 1. Remodel and add 450 pupil spaces at Dwight Morrow High School to accommodate 1, 175 students in grades 9-12. 2. Move grade 6 to the present junior high school building and abandon both Engle St. and Franklin Schools. (If crowded conditions in the four elementary schools persist, Engle St. could be used until the end of Phase 2. The entire Engle St. site should be sold as soon as possible. ) Phase 2 (1968-69) 1. Build a new 625-pupil middle school in Allison Park to house grades 4-8. (This school should be designed to accommodate considerable team teaching. A minimum site size of 25 acres is suggested. Additional acreage would, of course, provide greater flexibility for longrange growth and consolidation of school enrollments.)

i The backup plan calls for three elementary centers for grades PK-4, a single middle school for grades 5-8, and a senior high school for grades 9-12. Although this alternative organizational pattern does not provide the long-range flexibility of the recommended plan, it is a worthy alternative if all efforts to obtain additional property on or adjacent to Allison Park fail.

2. Convert the present junior high school to a middle school for grades 4-8. 3. Abandon Liberty School and dispose of the property by sale. 4. Begin using Cleveland, Quarles, and Roosevelt as K-3 elementary centers. (Quarles can probably be used to house at least part of the special education program at this point.)

Phase 3 (1970-71) 1. Remodel Cleveland for use as a PK-3 elementary center. (A limited number of PK and K classrooms may have to be added, preferably in separate units.) 2. Remodel part of the Lincoln School and expand the site for use as an instructional materials center, a community recreation center, or a day-care center. (Federal funds can probably be used to offset part of the cost of this work.) School Organization Following Phase 3 Cleveland Quarles Roosevelt Allison Park Present Junior High School Dwight Morrow High School PK-3 PK-3 PK-3 4-8 4-8 9-12

The building plan as outlined above provides three elementary centers, two middle schools, and a single four-year high school. The

recommended districting patterns for the three elementary centers and the two middle schools are shown on Maps 3 and 4.
