| Calhoun Schools enrollment for all three schools for the 2014-15 year is 1,089, according to Superintendent Tim Woodward, a gain of 17 students since last year.
Enrollment took a serious plunge during the 2012-13 year, dropping 54 students, preceded by a couple years of slight increases, mostly due to early childhood education enrollment.
Sparsely populated rural systems, particularly those without educational levies, continue to suffer with enrollment loss, the state's long-time school funding formula issuing about $5,000 per pupil.
Calhoun Schools has lost about 625 students since the early 1990s.
That would mean the county system has lost an estimate $3,125,000 annually.
The biggest single loss for Calhoun Schools was in 2000-01 with -112.
