Marshwood enrollment essentially flat year‑over‑year; preK enrollment added about 30 students
Summary
An administrator reported an Oct. 1 snapshot showing district enrollment at 2,135 this year versus 2,136 at the same point last year (net down one), with preschool additions accounting for about 30 students.
An administrator presented an enrollment comparison showing that overall Marshwood district enrollment is essentially unchanged from the prior year.
"October 4th of last year we were at 2,136; this year we're at 2,135," the administrator said, summarizing school‑by‑school changes: Elliot down one student, Central up one, Great Works even, the middle school down four and the high school down 10. The presenter noted a roughly 30‑student addition in the new pre‑K program, which affects the district total.
Officials said they typically expect a drop of 15–20 students between the first day of school and official October 1 certification; current numbers were about 14 students below the first‑day total, leaving room for minor adjustments before final certification. The administrator said the district tried to be conservative in budget projections and acknowledged that small enrollment shifts are normal in early October.
No formal board action was required for the update; the board accepted the report.
