(KMZA)--Enrollment is down in Prairie Hills USD 113.
Superintendent Todd Evans provided an enrollment summary to the board of education last week from the official head-count taken on September 20th.
The figures show a total headcount of 926 students, which is down 143 students over last school year.
The decrease is partially attributed to the closure of the Wetmore Attendance Center at the end of the 2022-23 school year.
At Sabetha, enrollment is down 31 students over last school year. That includes a 18 student decrease at Sabetha Elementary School, 12 student decrease at Sabetha High School and 1 student decrease at Sabetha Middle School.
Meanwhile, the headcount showed an increase of 12 students at Axtell compared to the 2022-23 school year.
