3. Student Re-Enrollment
More than half of students eligible for re-enrollment did so in fall 2006. The school maintained
its minimum enrollment of 1,150 students throughout the school year. Demand for classes
remained constant. Because new student applicants outnumbered spaces available for classes, the
school held enrollment lotteries and established waiting lists of over 500 students for day,
afternoon, and evening sessions. Of the students enrolled in ESL classes, the majority were in
Literacy A and B as well as in Levels 1 and 2.
