With classes starting this week in the Hood River County School District, a large freshman class at Hood River Valley High School is creating a bump in enrollment. Superintendent Dan Goldman says a big eighth grade class went through both middle schools last year, and they expected a jump of about 65 students at HRVHS, but the early returns puts the increase at about 90. He does point out historically they won’t have an accurate enrollment figure until the latter portion of September, when registered students who have not shown up in the first ten days are removed from the rolls. Goldman says the district tends to be very conservative on enrollment projections, and they are about to embark on a year-long process of facilities planning, with potential growth to be one of the factors taken into consideration.
