Student counts in Barry County area schools show gains, losses

All public schools in Michigan count the number of students attending their schools  twice a year, October and February. In Barry County area schools this year, the student count was up in some, and down in others.

 

Count information is critical to school districts, because each student translates into state funding. The calculation schools receive is based on a blend of both winter and fall student count data during the same calendar year. Area schools took the unofficial student count Wednesday, Oct. 5. 

 

* Maple Valley Public Schools have an increase of 62 students. This year’s count is 1,074, up from 1,012 in 2016.

 

* Hastings Area School System’s student count dropped 41 from last year to 2,669 this year.

 

* Thornapple Kellogg’s student count stood at 3,134, up 68 from last year.

 

* Lakewood Public Schools count went down 17 students for a total of 1,839.

 

* Caledonia Community Schools counted 4,866 students this year, up from 4,721 in 2016.
