Historical Fall 1995 St. Louis Voluntary Transfer Program Statistics

I received this information from a brochure my wife received from the district where she taught years ago. I thought it was pretty interesting. It really shows the effects ending the transfer program would have on many of the county districts (not to mention the city schools!)

As of June 2016, the VICC home page now says there are about 4,300 students participating, or about 1/3 the number that were participating in 1995.

The Transfer Percent column represents the percentage of the total district enrollment represented by transfer students. This is a column I calculated myself. I feel this is an important number on the effects ending the transfer program would have on a district.
Smaller districts with a small local base of black students in their district could see their districts shrink by nearly one fifth. The big losers are Brentwood (19.8%), Lindbergh (18.7%), Hancock Place (17.5%), Clayton (17.4%), and Valley Park (17.0%).
