Traffic, Housing, and Enrollment Studies
On September 29, 2025, after High School redistricting maps were already released, a Traffic Study was commissioned by the district for $22,300. The scope included taking the 3 proposed redistricting maps and evaluating vehicle, bike, and pedestrian travel paths from 15 different subareas within the district. Travel paths from these subareas were compared to an areas currently assigned high school as well as the areas future assigned high school. An evaluation matrix was prepared to summarize findings but no preferred recommendation was provided.
What was not included in the study was crash and safety data for major intersections, bus routes, or any analysis of routes outside the 3 proposed maps.
A 2020 Glick Road Traffic Impact Study, commissioned as a retail study for Shawnee Station by Shawnee Hills, was used by the district to decide that moving students across the Shawnee Dam Bridge was not feasible.
The purpose of a Housing Study analysis is to determine the potential growth and/or decline for existing subdivisions, planned housing developments, and undeveloped land, and the impact it has on the Dublin City Schools K-12 student population. By providing this student potential analysis to the District, it will be better equipped to make decisions regarding future enrollment. It is important to note that this report uses a different methodology than the enrollment projection study, therefore the forecasts will not match.
The projections presented in this report were developed based on students living within the draft proposed school boundaries to be implemented in the 2025-26 school year and are meant to serve as a planning tool for the future, representing the most likely direction of the District. Enrollment projections were developed using the cohort survival methodology and by analyzing the following data outlined in this report:
• Historical enrollment by boundary, by grade, by year
• Resident live birth data
• Census data
• Building permits
Enrollment in the Dublin City Schools has increased by 1,454 K-12 students from the 2015-16 to the 2024-25 school year. Based on the cohort survival methodology, enrollment is projected to increase over the next ten years.
