[/ QUOTE ] For many years, the VHSL used only grades 9-11 to determine enrollment figures. Now they use 9-12. I'm sure VHSLhelper used on 3/4 enrollment numbers on the 2008 figures in order to get a "fair" comparison of how the enrollment has dropped.

olewave 44 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 What is even more sad, is Grundy was near 1200 in three grades in 1978. Now 400 with four grades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trublue 939 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Even w/all the downside of declining enrollment....the SWVA area is still thought of as home for those that have previously lived there . The feelings, that SWVA is "home", are never forgotten, no matter, where you live or how much over indulgence is around you. Hopefully, not in my lifetime, but in another generation or so, the cycle of prosperity will return to the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehc55 10 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 That's the cycle I was talking about. I just did a poor job of reading what helper posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHSLhelper 571 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 that's one of those things that differ depending on who says it....for an administator, the 2009-2011 cycle process is over, so "the next cycle" would be 2011-2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
