A modular platform for district planning

SPS+ combines enrollment forecasting, housing development tracking and geographic analysis into a unified planning system designed for school districts.

Enrollment Projections

Generate long-term enrollment forecasts using historical trends, applying yields to housing development, retention rates and migration patterns to help you anticipate school capacity pressure early and support capital planning decisions.

Scenario modeling across 1–25+ years

Create multiple planning scenarios that forecast enrollment growth over time, allowing districts to compare different planning strategies and future conditions.

Forecast by program, school, and grade

Generate detailed projections that break down enrollment by grade level, program type such as French immersion, and individual schools.

Capacity vs enrollment analysis

Visualize projected enrollment against school capacity to quickly identify where schools may become over- or under-utilized.

Development-driven growth projections

Incorporate housing development data to estimate how new residential growth will translate into future student enrollment.

GIS-based spatial analysis

Combine enrollment projections with geographic data to understand how growth patterns affect specific neighborhoods, catchments, and schools.

Development Tracking

Track municipal development and translate housing growth into future student enrollment, allowing you to anticipate enrollment growth from new housing developments.

Track developments

Capture municipal development data including housing projects, permits, and planned construction to understand how communities are growing.

Apply yield assumptions by housing type

Estimate student generation by applying historical yield factors for different housing types such as apartments, townhomes, or single-family homes.

Model development timelines

Project when new housing developments will be completed and how developments are expected to impact projected enrollment.

Locate developments on your district's map

View housing developments to visualize where potential growth will occur and impact that catchment area.

Boundary Analysis

Understand where students live relative to school boundaries and identify utilization pressure to support evidence-based boundary review discussions and capacity planning.

Study-area level geographic analysis

Analyze enrollment patterns at a granular geographic level to better understand how students are distributed across the district.

Catchment utilization analysis

Evaluate how effectively each school's boundary area is serving its student population relative to available capacity.

Identify out-of-boundary attendance patterns

Detect when students are attending schools outside their assigned boundaries and understand where those patterns originate.

Trend analysis over time

Track how enrollment patterns and boundary pressures change over multiple years to identify emerging planning challenges.

Support re-districting efforts

Easily identify schools where re-districting is required.

Accommodation Planner

Test planning scenarios when schools approach or exceed capacity, helping planners test solutions before implementing district-wide changes.

Create “what-if” scenarios for redistricting modeling

Test potential “what-if” boundary changes within planning scenarios to evaluate how redistricting could impact enrollment distribution.

Move students between schools

Simulate shifting student populations between schools to relieve overcrowding or improve utilization.

Compare boundary change options

Evaluate multiple planning strategies side by side to determine which solution best balances capacity across schools.

Evaluate multiple planning strategies side by side.

Determine which solution best balances capacity utilization across schools, and project when enrollment pressures  are expected to impact school capacities.

School Locator

Embed the School Locator widget into your district's website to allow parents to search for the schools and programs available for their children based on their address.  Seamlessly align school and specialty program boundaries set by your planning team with your district's communication team for accurate school registration purposes.

Interactive widget integrated into district website.

Display school and program boundaries on an interactive map to clearly show which catchment areas belong to each school or program.

Address search with type-ahead validation

Quickly find designated schools with intelligent address suggestions and automatic validation.

Advanced Filtering

Narrow school results by program, grade, and municipality to find the right designated school faster.

Program-specific school results

Provide school assignments based on program availability, such as regular track or French immersion.

API integrations with registration systems

Connect the school locator to online registration workflows so school assignments are automatically validated during enrollment.

Additional Platform Capabilities

GIS Integration

Combine student data, geography, and enrollment projections in spatial models.

Data Imports

Easily import individual and/or aggregated student data applying district specific rules to ensure data quality.

Export and Reporting

Generate a multitude of charts, maps, and datasets to be exported in popular formats to support creating presentations and documents.

Geocoding functionality

Seamlessly plot student and housing data on maps for easy analysis.

Plan the future of your district with confidence.
