Why is it declining? I know in our area, Springs Valley, Paoli, Crawford County, Orleans, NE Dubois, Shoals are all declining when there are more jobs in the area than ever before. So people aren't really transferring to other schools. Are people not reproducing as much? A smart man told me that the issue is there are more jobs in the area so all the people that like to draw unemployment moved out of the area. He might be on to something.
