For those interested in the ebb and flow of students in Baltimore County schools, check out this story about the latest report on enrollments and projections. 

Basically, the county has continued to see a slight drop in enrollment -- with pockets of growth and decline throughout the region.  

Some highlights: Enrollment as of Sept. 30 stands at 103,643.  Rodgers Forge Elementary is the county's most overcrowded school, nearly 80 percent over its capacity (709 students total there).  The central and northeast areas of the county are seeing the most growth, while the southeast and southwest are generally stable, if not declining. 

This report follows the city school system's announcement (and Sara's story) earlier this month about an expected increase in enrollment for the first time in decades. City schools had 81,274 students in 2007, and officials anticipate that number will rise to about 82,000.
