19. Student Growth Projections DOE - COFTE Projections
7, , , , ,995
This year’s COFTE (Capital Outlay Full Time Equivalent) projections indicate a District-wide 1,026 student increase between and
Walton County School District has experienced positive student growth over the past five years. This trend is expected to continue.
COFTE projections are based on a cohort survival method, which is based largely upon live births and deaths. To ensure accuracy, this method must be modified in districts experiencing rapid in-migration and robust new residential development – which the Walton School District has experienced over the past few years.
These COFTE numbers include only pre-school children with disabilities (ESE) and pre-school age children whose parents are in the Teenage Parent Program. It does not include children in the District’s Voluntary Pre-K program.
