Funny thing is that school keeps bragging about how much they are growing. To justify spending $2Mil+ on 2 new rooms for the daycare. And other unneeded expansions, like a new lunch room and science room and home ec room, where they have eliminated a lot of science offerings, or bring in teachers for things like chemistry from another school, that is more worried about that other schools Volleyball team than teaching chem, let alone ever doing an experiment, that needs to utilize any special equipment, bragged about in the new expansion. Hell they are building a fancy HomeEc room, a class they eliminated for several years, and now is getting a huge new commercial set up.
Yet their Beds numbers are not moving very much, and they go back 15 years to when the next community over closed 2 small outlying schools, that cause a small jump in enrollment because of those communities open enrolling.
Outside of those jumps which were almost 15 years ago, I dont think there really has been much increase. Last I checked classes were still mostly if not all below 30 kids, which is almost half what it was in the 90s.
I have seen a lot of bad decisions made in that town over the last decade from the school to the city council, which they all resigned including the Mayor now too. Built that fancy new secondary gym and didnt even put a small set of bleachers on one side, so no place for spectators. Dumb. Im all for expansion and building what is needed, but doing things not needed, in a town and school that is barely surviving is not a good plan, then building things half assed instead of doing it right is worse.
