Howard County reviews school attendance areas each year to balance school capacities with enrollments. This review is not only needed when the system is opening new schools. Rapid growth in Howard County requires the school system to adjust school attendance to accommodate the new students and occasionally to balance enrollments across regions or improve existing school feeds. The county has opened 26 new schools in the past 16 years.
