Highland Center, in Southeast Iowa | John Smith - 7/7/2026 07:36 Locally our school enrollment is maybe 50% or less of what they were historically 60 years ago. What does everyone else see?
DH graduated in 1966 in a class of 66 students. In 2022, the same school district graduated 10 students. It is getting a bit better now with a little higher population over the past 4 years, but the days of 50+ kids per class in that district are in the past. This is an old German Catholic community where families of 8-12 children weren't uncommon at all. |
