By the Numbers: The Great Student Count
Here's the lowdown: as of October 2021, DPS boasts a whopping around 90,250 students. That's a whole lotta school spirit, cafeteria chaos, and textbook triumphs!
Wait, hold on, you might be thinking, "October 2021? Isn't it, like, way past then?"
You got that right, my friend. We journalists gotta use the most recent, reliable sources we can find. But hey, school populations shift and grow like a well-watered science project, so the exact number might be a tad higher or lower today.
Tip: Read the whole thing before forming an opinion.
Where Do All These Scholars Sit?
These 90,250 students aren't crammed into one giant super school (although that would be a wild movie concept). They're spread out amongst a whopping 207 schools, including traditional schools, magnet schools (where kids get to focus on a specific subject, like marine biology or jazz hands), and charter schools (which are kinda like independent schools within the DPS system).
Basically, there's a DPS school for just about every kind of learner, from future astronauts to budding bards.
Fun Facts (Because Numbers Can Get Snoozy)
Let's jazz things up with some trivia! Did you know that DPS students come from all walks of life, speaking a whopping 170 different languages? That's like a mini United Nations under one roof (except with less arguing, hopefully).
Tip: Don’t rush — enjoy the read.
Plus, a cool 62% of DPS students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This means DPS is committed to providing a top-notch education for everyone, regardless of background.
