The school district has seen about a 0.7% increase in students from last school year.
Downs says that the distribution of students in the individual schools within the district is pretty even, saying that one of the elementary schools was one of the outliers just adding one student from last year.
Downs said that there was also a minor increase in students at the middle school and high school level as well as in their early childhood program which saw a major increase in enrollment.
