Bucking statewide trend, district in Maine sees enrollment growth

May 31, 2011
Lewiston-Auburn district is dealing with population growth at elementary level

From The Lewiston Sun-Journal: In Maine, the number of students is going down, but the Lewiston-Auburn district is bucking that trend. The number of students, especially in the early grades, is on the rise. A slowdown seems unlikely, given 2010 Census numbers that say the population of children under 5 years old has grown in Lewiston and Auburn. One reason for more schoolchildren in Lewiston is the Somali population, which continues to grow.
