SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) – Students in the Sioux Falls Public Middle and High Schools will have a little more elbow room this fall thanks to the opening of two new schools and redrawn boundary lines.
The Sioux Falls School Board heard about the fall enrollment numbers at their meeting on Monday night.
Dr. James Nold said the biggest shift will happen at the district’s most overcrowded schools. Roosevelt High School will have 700 fewer students in it’s halls and Memorial Middle School will have 200 fewer students. Overcrowding in the district prompted the building of a new middle school and high school set to open this fall.
After its first year, Jefferson High School and the other three high schools should have a similar student population with a difference of fewer than 100 students in their classes. Memorial Middle School will remain the largest with an enrollment of 1,174. Whittier will have the smallest student population at 733. The newly open Ben Reifel Middle School will have the 3rd largest student population at 972.
