This projection study sourced data from school records and documents, such as, enrollment lists and the annual financial statements of La Salette of San Mateo from school year 1977-1978 to school year 1979-1980. For the appraisal of the data, the writer made use of the historical-analytical approach. To forecast the schools' enrollment for the next three years, 1980-1981 to 1982-1983, the survival ratios of each cohort of students as they moved from one level to another in the curriculum ladder was computed. This is used to project enrollment in higher years whereby the average retention rates are taken from the total rate of survival or retention rate divided by the number of school years. Then the average retention rate times enrollment preceding curriculum year in the previous school year equals the projected enrollment for a particular year. Then the prediction equation or the regression line, is found for the estimation of the incoming freshmen over the plan period. For space utilization forecast, the percentage of capacity in the usage of classrooms is arrived at by dividing the average number of students using the classroom by the capacity of the room. To get the percentage of usage, the quotient of the average number of students was solved using the classroom and capacity of the room. To arrive at the percentage by which the room would be used, the hours used was divided by the number of hours available. The projected number of full time faculty for a given year was determined by the number of sections per year level by which the enrollment of that given school year was broken down. The number of sections in each year level was multiplied by the number of hours per week which a section in a particular year level carries in a particular subject area. The products obtained in each year level were divided to determine the number of hours per week work load which was carried by all the sections from first year to fourth year in that particular subject area. This was divided by the equivalent of a full time
