Dr. Michael Thornton, assistant superintendent of Business and Operations, said that number "actually exceeds our forecast by 116 students. That's a relatively new trend for us over the last four years."

"The prior three years," he added, "we were on a declining trend." He said the school system hopes "to see a flattening out as the economy continues to improve at a very slow pace."

The figures Thornton reported are based on unofficial counts. A more definite enrollment number is expected on Sept. 30.

According to Thornton, the early total of HCPS students, as well as other placements, was in the range of 19,230 to 19,234.

"We're beginning to see at the ninth grade level kids coming back in the district that were out," he added.

Gladstone said Wilson "is like a kid in a candy shop when you put her in a school. It was a very high energy day."
