School is well underway and area schools have reported
their enrollment numbers.
Platte County R-3 enrollment is at 2,280 this year, up
about 6% from last year's enrollment of 2,151.
At Rising Star 118 students are enrolled; at Siegrist
371 students are enrolled; at Paxton 261 students are
enrolled; at Barry 435 students are enrolled; at Platte

High School 660 students are enrolled.
According to Dr. Mark Harpst, Platte County R-3 superintendent,
class sizes are also at "good" levels.
Harpst added class sizes at Barry School are rather large
in the first and fifth grades. Teacher aides are being
sought to help teachers handle the excessive amounts of
students.
