Culver Community School Board members received a brief enrollment report from Superintendent Karen Shuman when they met Monday night.
According to the Indiana Department of Education enrollment report, Culver Community Schools had a total enrollment of 840 students in 2016. Shuman shared that after comparing this year’s number to last year’s, she found the school corporation has nine more students in general.
She then broke it down, sharing the most significant areas of growth. Shuman mentioned that their Kindergarten numbers rose from 37 in 2016 to 58 this year. She also said the junior class now has 53 students where there were only 47 in the previous year.
Shuman shared why it was important to make note of these specific changes, “All the other numbers vary between plus or minus two or one and that’s typical movement but those two areas are good growth measures for us.”
Superintendent Shuman added that she’ll be looking into the birthrates to determine how those could impact the enrollment figures in the coming years.
