Around 6,500 students are enrolled in Independence County public schools this year.
That would be 6,484 at the last count in mid-September.
Here is the way the numbers stack up for student enrollment this school year:
- Batesville 3,400 students
- Southside 1,974 students
- Cedar Ridge 645 students
- Midland 460 students
Superintendents will tell you that numbers fluctuate throughout the year, but generally, any changes will not affect the numbers more than 50, one way or the other.
