There are 93 pre-kindergarten students included in the elementary student numbers. In addition, students open-enrolled in and out, dual enrolled and tuitioned out bring the total to the reported number of 1560.98.

The fractional student number is attributed primarily to students who are not enrolled full-time.

In determining official enrollment, students which are open enrolled in schools outside the STC District, those tuitioned out and dual enrolled are counted in the district total.
