Fall Enrollment Slightly Below Predicted Level : Glendale: District schools have 25,343 students instead of 25,539. More are expected to arrive.

The Glendale Unified School District’s fall enrollment of 25,343 is slightly lower than district projections, but more students are expected to arrive throughout the school year, officials reported Tuesday.

Administrators had predicted that enrollment would increase from about 24,100 students last year to 25,539.

As of Monday, after one week of school, there were 13,441 students at 19 elementary schools, 5,346 at four junior high schools and 6,214 at three high schools and one continuation school. An additional 342 students were enrolled in special-education classes.

The figures were presented to the Board of Education on Tuesday.

“It’s harder today to be right on because we continue to get people moving into the community all year long,” said Vic Pallos, a district spokesman.

Even though more than 210 students are being bused this year from crowded schools to less crowded ones, enrollments at the crowded schools were lower than expected. Six of the most crowded schools are scheduled to go year-round in 1991 because of overcrowding.

In addition, at least 50 seventh-graders are being transported from Toll Junior High School to Rosemont Junior High School because of crowding, Pallos said.

One area in which officials had under-projected new enrollment was at the district’s Welcome Center, which serves students who speak little or no English. As of Monday, 1,100 students had come to the center during the summer, 400 more than had been anticipated.
