Madison school enrollment highest since 1998

Matthew DeFour:

The Madison School District's student population grew this year to its highest level since 1998, not counting an additional 1,789 new students enrolled in 4-year-old kindergarten.

The 24,861 students represent the second-largest official student count in the past two decades, though the population has stayed relatively constant between 24,000 and 25,000 students during that time. The count is taken on the third Friday of the school year and is used to calculate state aid.

The district estimates there are 2,100 4-year-olds living in the district, which puts the district's 4K enrollment at more than 85 percent.
