C-U's Enrollment Loss is Other Schools' Gain

The growth in Champaign County's "suburban" school districts is fairly small percentage-wise, but school officials say that doesn't tell the whole story.

Case in point: Mahomet-Seymour's enrollment has been relatively flat, with 26 more students last year than in 1998-99. But it actually took in 100 new students this year alone. The district has become more transient, with more families moving in and out as they transfer jobs, Superintendent John Alumbaugh said.
