The word is out! Scott City is the right place to be! It
sure seems that way when looking at the enrollment numbers these past few
years. In September of 2014, our enrollment started the year at 971 students.
Fast forward two years and we now tip the scales at 1,023 students! This 5%
growth has been very positive in terms of the students and families we have
added to our community. Lots of great new kids to add to our great remaining
kids in our classrooms!
The effect of this growth has highlighted some difficult
facility issues though. We are quickly running out of space in some key areas. With no place to go, we have no options if our enrollment
trend continues. According to the Kansas Association of School Boards, growth
will continue for at least the next few years. Classes sizes could grow another
6-7% by 2020. We are proud of the fact that families are choosing Scott City as
a great place to raise and educate kids. At the same time, we want to make sure
we provide the best opportunities for them. The U.S.D. 466 Board of Education and
employees are holding discussions on what our buildings should contain. Amount
of space for instruction and activities, safe and secure entrances, and
updating structures are the main focus. Look for opportunities to discuss our
facilities in the near future.
