Longview ISD Reports 1.7 Percent Increase
Longview ISD on Friday recorded a 147-student increase from 2013 for the fall Public Education Information Management Systems (PEIMS) ‘snapshot,’ with the largest gain coming at the district’s newest high school.
Though statistics tend to change regularly as people move in and out of the district, the official district student population for 2014 is 8,775, which is 1.7 percent more than the 8,628 students recorded in October 2013.
Longview Early Graduation High School today had 190 students enrolled, compared with 123 students a year ago when the campus operated as LEAD Academy. The increase in the campus’ population amounts to about 54 percentage points.
“Longview Early Graduation High School has gone from a small 2A sized campus to almost being 3A, and one of the reasons is its diverse course offerings,” Superintendent Dr. James E. Wilcox said. “Where else can a student enroll as a freshman and graduate a year early, with options for dual (college) credit and career and technology programs?”
