Latest enrollment data for Clairemont schools

For an update from Julie Jenkins regarding the latest data about enrollment in our local clusters of schools click here.
 
A little more from Julie:
"Please make a commitment to talk to new families and encourage them to attend a school event or take a tour of the neighborhood school.  By building local attendance at our neighborhood schools we will not only build up our community but also, I believe, enhance the school experience for each of our children.  When schools are thriving, housing prices go up.  This is an issue that effects each of us - those with children in the local schools, those who have choiced out and those who do not have school age children.  It serves us all to be involved in our Clairemont Community of Schools."
