NWSD enrollment slightly increases
With a month of classes under its belt, the final enrollment numbers for September are in for the Northwest School Division (NWSD)
The month’s end numbers show an increase of two students in the division from the first week to the last week of September. Duane Hauk, Director of Education said NWSD has 4,702 students enrolled so far in the 2016-17 school year.
“The good news is that we went up from last year 19 students but I think the other good part to point out is our highest numbers are Grade 2 students and our lowest is the number of Grade 11s, so we’re trending upwards,” he said.
From the 2015-16 to 2016-17 school years, Lakeview Elementary School in Meadow Lake and Ratushniak School in Maidstone saw the highest enrollment increases, while Hillmond Central School saw the biggest decrease.
