According to Census 2000, about 28 percent of Somalis are between the ages of 6 and 17 (unfortunately, single year of age is unavailable). Interestingly, the Census counted 2,675 Somalis ages 6 through 17, a difference of 66 from the school enrollment figures for 1999-2000. Using this age group as a proxy for school age population gives a multiplier of 3.6. Using the multiplier and the number of Somali-speaking children enrolled in Minnesota’s schools (2,609 in 1999-2000 and 4,196 in 2000-2001) gives a range for 2000 of 9,300 to 15,000, again a range that includes the count in Census 2000. The range is wider than is desired, but given the dearth of data, the estimate and the Census count seem reasonable.
During the 2010/2011 school year, student enrollment stood at 22,544 (District 300 Annual Report, 2011).

The attendance rate of the district overall was 94.7% - this is above the state’s average (District 300 Annual Report, 2011).

HIGHLAND AVENUE ELEMENTARY.2 Narrative On Friday, March 16th, 2012 at 8:20am, I walked in to Mrs. Galiotos' 3rd/4th grade combination classroom. As I walked in, I noticed in the front of the room there was a double-wide chalkboard with a projector screen hanging from above so that when the screen is pulled down it covers where the chalkboards connect in the middle, as well as part of both chalkboards. To the right of the chalkboard and a little above, I noticed the traditional flag being displayed in it's appropriate holster. Not too far from the flag was a laminated poster displaying The Pledge of Allegiance.
