Dressel — The district’s newest elementary school is projected to open this fall with 611 students.
For the coming school year, McKenney is forecasting an increase of 51 students for the district’s two middle schools and 238 students over the next four years.
By school, he projects:
Sperreng — An increase of 17 students for the coming year and an increase of 141 students over four years.

At Lindbergh High School, McKenney projects an increase of 21 students for the 2017-2018 school year and 191 students over the next four years.
For the current school year, district officials originally had projected enrollment would increase by 312 students. However, official enrollment showed an increase of 173 students for the 2016-2017 school year.
Superintendent Jim Simpson previously told the Call that a lack of available housing is the reason official enrollment lagged behind the projected enrollment.
