District student population grows 6.5 percent in last year

Every year, school districts in Texas are required under the Texas Education Code to capture student enrollment on a “snapshot day” in the fall semester of the school year. The data is used as the official enrollment of the school district for the year, despite changes that may occur in enrollment the remainder of the school year. October 30 was snapshot day this year, and New Caney ISD student enrollment was 13,830 on that day. This represents 6.5% growth in student population since snapshot day a year ago and more than 27% growth over the last four years.
