Overview:

The annual Pupil Enrollment (PE) count is derived from the Student School Associations (enrollment) records where the primary school is flagged as “True” and includes the PE Count Date in the fall. This compilation of data becomes the official enrollment count for each school. These counts are posted publicly and used for accountability and federal reporting. Free/Reduced Meal status is used for certain funding calculations and must be updated for the current school year prior to or on the count date.
