Racial/ethnic breakdown is not used by School Planning at the polygon-level for redistricting study purposes, therefore no responsive reports with both test score and racial demographics at that level exists. For reference, Changes in Race/Ethnicity Based on Proposed Scenario used by the School Planning Office for the feasibility study is reported at the school level and can be found on page 53 and 54 (Figures 5.8 and 5.9): http://www.hcpss.org/f/schoolplanning/2017-feasibility-study.pdf These numbers represent attendance area population, not children enrolled at the school, and do not include pre-kindergarten. Please note, in this document base is the percent as of the date pulled during the 2016-2017 school year, and proposed is what would be the percent at each school based on current attendance area population after proposed redistricting. Test score information at polygon-level as currently available can be found in response 18-004.
