[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lewis' enrollment actually increased this year from the past few years.

2022-23 1509 students
2023-24 1505 students 
2024-25 1474 students

September 2026 1539 students*

They lost several students in the fall, likely due to issues not related to Lewis, but appeared to have settled into the low 1500s, comparable to their 22/23 numbers.  It is the first year Lewis has shown growth in years, which given the student composition and outside factors, it appears Lewis is on an upswing.

You have to use the September membership numbers. And that shows a clear drop in enrollment:

2020-2021 -- 1740
2021-2022 -- 1680
2022-2023 -- 1685
2023-2024 -- 1653
2024-2025 -- 1632
2025-2026 -- 1539

Given the tiny size of the next two classes coming out of Key (and the largest class at Lewis graduating), Lewis is likely to be around 1420-1430 next year and under 1400 the year after - if no students are moved into the school. Unlike West Springfield, Lewis does not seem to materialize students showing up in 9th grade (no particular increase from 8th at Key to 9th at Lewis).

Lewis is definitely an outlier among FCPS high schools regarding enrollment.[/quote]
