Enrollment mixed across county

DAVENPORT — First-day student enrollment counts in area schools show some with more students and others with fewer.

Davenport schools opened the year with 612.15 full-time equivalent students, down 36.28 from September last year.

Superintendent Chad Prewitt said the decline is due to a large graduating Class of 2026.

September counts show 22.05 12th-grade full-time enrollees.

The past two years were the district’s highest enrollment on record, Prewitt said, noting the count is moving toward earlier averages.

Full-time enrollment numbers for the last few years show 609.63 in 2022, 623.35 in 202...
