Enrollment is up at both the Medford Area Middle and High Schools on the first day of school compared to the first day of school last year - for the ninth year in a row.

The total first day enrollment for this year is 2,485 students compared to 2,472 on the first day of school last year.

According to District Administrator Paul Schoenberger, if these numbers holdup until the state count on the third Friday in September, Medford Area Public School District could be experiencing close to a 2.7 percent increase in enrollment over last year.

However, the district typically loses 30-40 students between the start of school and the official state count date on September 17, as student move out of the district.

If this occurs again this year, the actual increase will be account 1.5 percent.
