By contrast, Lake Powell High School in Kane County School District has a head count of four students.
this is so crazy to me. I love this because it shows the contrast between schools that are overpopulated and underpopulated. I think this adds nicely to the article.
Built for 2,700 students, Granger High School is serving more than 3,400 learners this fall, according to the latest state enrollment figures.
This shows the problem I am trying to get across.
Student growth and declines in enrollment pose challenges for different reasons. In growing areas of the state, school districts’ building needs are stressed to keep pace with growing enrollments.
I like that this article has pointed out some positive and some negative. It feels less like it is bashing on the number of students and growth but really focusing on educating on the subject. I think that the construction of the article is really nice as well.
Enrollment in Salt Lake City School District fell for the third consecutive year to 19,833.
Why is this sentence separate from the paragraph above?
“It’s the diversity makes our school a pretty rich place. ... When you in walk in here, the kids feel comfortable,” he said.
I think this is an interesting view of Granger. From what I know of Granger, there are lots of fights and it can be an interesting place to be. Someone at Granger wanted to beat me up once. So I think that this proves once again that this article was written from the perspective of administration because being a student who knows students who attend Granger, I have heard opposite ideas.
Statewide, white students make up 72% of Utah’s public school population. Hispanic or Latino students comprise 19% of Utah students, with Pacific Islanders and Asian student groups comprising 2% each. Black and American Indian students each make up 1% of the statewide enrollment, and students identifying as two more or races comprise 3% of the total.
I like that they added this into the article. I think that the article shows really how many students there are in Utah high schools yet how little diversity there is. I do question why they added this in? The article is about how crowded the halls are but then they go into the diversity. I think it is great and the information is good but I am confused why it was added.
Alpine School District remains Utah’s largest school district with 83,999 learners. It is followed by Davis School District with 72,540 students and Granite with 60,371. Rounding off the top five are Jordan School District at 57,840 and Washington School District at 36,453.
This really gives a good idea of the numbers. I think that this really proves the opinion of the article that Utah's high schools are overflowing with students.
Statewide, Utah’s public school enrollment this fall grew by about 1.3% compared to the Oct. 1, 2020, head count, bringing the total number of students to 675,247. That’s an increase of 8,638 students over last year, according to new state data.
I like this statistic a lot. it talks about the growth of students in Utah's public school enrollment, which is what my topic is. I think that it is fit in at a great spot in the article.
Last year was so different, but it kind of reinforced that schools are a place where kids want to be
I think this is an interesting comment. I think it really shows that they only got a teacher/administrative view of things up to this point in the article. Although I feel some students like school, many don't. Reading this as a student, it seems like a funny statement, especially because school is required.
