FnroUment Doiprn at School
Enrollment is down about 12 students in the Huntley Schools this year in comparison with last year. Last year, at the beginning of school 580 students were en¬ rolled from kindergarten through High School. This year the enrol¬ lment has droped to 658 for all grades.
The drop has been g;radual. At the end of last year only 571 re¬ mained out of the original 580. The reason for the large drop in enrollment this year is attributed to the loss of a large graduating Senior class and the fact that on¬ ly- 44 instead of 60 enrolled in kinderg;arten this year.
The enrollment by g^rades this year is: k-44; 1-54; 2-52; 346; 4-56; 5-53; 6-43; 7-48; 8-44; total for grade school—440.
