Enrollment through the years
In preparing to announce the city schools' enrollment increase, the system's Division of Research, Evaluation, Assessment and Accountability dug up this fascinating document from the Enoch Pratt Free Library showing enrollment in each of Maryland's 24 school systems from 1959 to 1986. Back in 1959, Baltimore was by far the biggest district in the state, and many of the suburban districts were tiny in comparison to their size today. Check it out to see how the roles reversed. (Sorry, but you'll either have to make a printout or look at your monitor sideways.)

Enrollment up + Number of High Schools Increased = Number of Students Per School Decreased / Number of Administrators Per School Increased = Less $$ Actually Spent Per Child.
