Student Re-Enrollment
More than half of students eligible for re-enrollment (73.52%) enrolled in fall 2007. The school maintained its minimum enrollment of 1,250 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 lottery waiting lists of over 500 students for day, afternoon, and evening sessions. In addition, regular waiting lists of over 600 students were also kept for
students seeking enrollment after the enrollment periods had ended. Of the students enrolled in ESL
classes, the majority were in Orientation A and B as well as in ESL levels 1 and 2.
