This was the first year enrollment reports included the "super FTE" for students attending both high school and the North Olympic Peninsula Skills Center. The super FTE had a positive impact on grades 9-12 enrollment, adding 26.4 FTE to Port Angeles High School and 5.4 FTE to Lincoln High School.
The Port Angeles School District enrollment projections for 2006 through 2012 are based on the historical number of students moving from grade to grade each year, and assume kindergarten classes of 290 children.
