The Bozeman School District has set a new enrollment record of 6,294 students showing the continued growth of Bozeman and its attraction to parents. The record actually fell 51 students short of projected numbers but still had 108 more students than any other year.
Increasing enrollment numbers in both Bozeman elementary and middle schools have driven the overall enrollment numbers to their heights. This year, 2,946 children enrolled in Kindergarten through 5th grade. 1,375 students enrolled in grades six through 8. Both records are all time highs.
Bozeman now has more than 500 kindergarteners enrolled in the district. The two new elementary schools that have been built in the last few years have helped alleviate the growing numbers, but the city may now have to focus on its Middle Schools.
The highschool enrolled 1,973 students this year, only ten shy of the record set in 2005.
The rising enrollment numbers correlate well with the growth of Bozeman. Many out of town buyers find Bozeman because they started their housing search by looking for high performing schools. So long as the schools maintain their high quality, it can only be expected that more and more parents will be attracted to Bozeman.
