Many area children continue to attend school outside of their own public school district. The Indiana Department of Education released its fall transfer report Wednesday. The Oregon-Davis School Corporation continues to see a large chunk of its district’s population going to other schools, with more than 43 percent of the state-funded students who live there attending class someplace else.
On the other hand, the nearby John Glenn School Corporation is attracting the most out-of-district students in the local area, with 514. Other school districts that are attracting more out-of-district students than they’re losing include Union-North, Bremen, Eastern Pulaski, Plymouth, Triton, Knox, and West Central.
North Judson-San Pierre has the biggest transfer deficit locally, with 266 of its residents attending school somewhere else but only 28 out-of-district students enrolled. Argos and Culver Community Schools also have more students transferring out than in.
Each school corporation’s state funding is based on how many students it has on count day.
