Jordan Preparing for Another Large Freshman Class

The fall of this school year began with over 600 freshmen students joining the Jordan family. Classes have been larger and the halls have been more packed than ever before. This follows the pattern of new class sizes of up to 650 students enrolling at Jordan the past few years.

Due to this continuous growth, classrooms that previously had a separate use – such as the classroom used to hold students who were participating in dual enrollment courses – will now become classrooms for required classes. Many subject departments have been seeking new staff to make sure there will be enough teachers to match the amount of students.  Principal Taylor has shared that more teachers than ever will be required to float around the school each period, using the classrooms of teachers who are in their planning period.

This pattern of large class sizes is not expected to end anytime soon. About 500 rising freshmen have already been enrolled at Jordan, and many more are expected to be enrolled once factors such as the Infinite Campus switch and the school data manager being on leave are sorted out. It seems that Jordan will soon have a population of up to 2,500 students.
