Seattle Schools Enrollment Predicted to Top 51,000 Next Year
From the Audit & Finance Committee meeting today comes news of the first Open Enrollment Data.
As stated in the headline, SPS enrollment looks to go over 50,000 for the first time in decades, to just over 51,000.
That is based on an increase of 1300 students for next year. Interestingly, it is NOT at kindergarten where projections show a lower number, just under 300 students. The real increase is at 6th grade at about 160 students.
Oddly (and I mean I don't get statistically how this happened), they got all the high school numbers right on target. The highest projected change for high school is at the sophomore level with more than 100 students.
Tracy Libros, head of Enrollment, said she thought the enormous growth line of birth-to-K may be stabilizing.
Director Carr noted the change in 6th grade. Dr. Libros said that Jane Addams is doubling the number of 6th
