Over the past few years, the Plymouth-Canton school district has been seeing a decrease in the number of students enrolled. But as count day numbers are now in for the 2016-2017 school year, the district has started to see a positive change in the number of enrollments.
Nicholas Brandon, the district Director of Communications said, “Overall we are currently seeing a slightly positive increase in the fall enrollment numbers, which is especially impressive considering both the decreased birth rate, and enrollment projections that were predicting a continuation of the decreases the district has experienced in the past few years.”
Below are the Count Day numbers:
