Enrollment in the Ritenour School District has been exceptionally steady since the 1980s, with between 6,000 and 6,500 students enrolled each year. But, in the past decade, the district has seen higher enrollments at the elementary school level. This has created an imbalance in attendance of the district’s elementary schools. While schools like Kratz Elementary on the northern side of Ritenour have been gaining more students each year, nearly pushing them past capacity, some of our other schools like Buder Elementary on the southwest side of the District have experienced significant decreases in student enrollment.

Parents and community members are encouraged to share their ideas as Ritenour reviews key factors associated with the potential redrawing of elementary and middle school boundary lines to help balance the attendance in these buildings. The meetings in December will be the first step in the development of potential new school boundaries. Ritenour will continue to host community meetings to seek feedback throughout the process.
