CALHOUN SCHOOLS ENROLLMENT LOSS CREATES BIG DENT - 2014-15 Enrollment 1,089

(09/02/2014)

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.
