Enrollment in the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation for 2010-11 has increased by nearly 200 students over last year’s count at this time – from 22,498 to 22,694. The largest class of students this year is seen in kindergarten with a total of 1,912 students.
Although not included in the enrollment counts for funding purposes, this year the pre-kindergarten classes at Daniel Wertz and the new program at the Culver Family Learning Center in collaboration with Developmental Pre-School, Cape/Head Start and Even Start, shows an enrollment of 226 students. This is the second year of the early childhood initiative and the first year of the Culver Center, reflecting an increase of 99 pre-K students being served in the community.
There are 731 students attending classes at the Southern Indiana Career and Technical Center (SICTC). Of that number, 457 are EVSC students who spend part of their day at SICTC, and 274 students are from non-EVSC schools including students from the southern half of Spencer County and all of Gibson, Posey, and Warrick counties. EVSC student counts at SICTC are included in the students’ home school enrollment numbers.

Each fall, the Indiana Department of Education requires schools in Indiana to count their student population. This snapshot on a specific day in the EVSC – this year it was Sept. 17 – determines the amount of funding per student that a school corporation will receive and is the count that is used for various grant proposals and other federal funding requests. Later, the IDOE will post this information on its website.
