Enrollment projections show continued growth

Middle schools rely on portable classrooms to house regular and special programs

Newberg and Dundee are projected to grow in the next decade and school enrollment will follow suit. According to a school enrollment study by Information Management Systems:

  • Elementary enrollment will increase by 19% by 2016 (542 students)
  • Middle schools are projected to increase by 28% by 2020 (479 students)
  • High school enrollment is projected to increase 20% by 2020 (388 students)

Currently the district’s two middle schools are full and must rely on portable classrooms to house students. Elementary schools, while 80% occupied, are using all available space to hold special programs such as intensive reading programs, ELL and music classes.
