A Growing Trend

The numbers are out. Here are some school count numbers, as best I can tell, for comparison.

2005 - White Knoll High School - 1710 students
2006 - White Knoll High School - 1787 students

2005 - Lexington High School - 2306 students
2006 - Lexington High School - 2358 students

2005 - Swansea High School - 954 students
2006 - Swansea High School - 1010 students

Our county is growing...Quickly. These numbers were taken from the South Carolina Department of Education website for the 45th day of school count and may have some adjustments made to them but they show the trend. Lexington County is growing. Our home value has increased by about 50% over the course of only 5 years! There are two new schools being built on either side of our neighborhood. One is a middle school and one is an elementary school. It is only a matter of time until Lexington county will need a new high school too. The growth is incredible but I do hope that the powers that be have a plan in place for traffic and tax control.

Personally, I like living in an expanding area. I welcome the new things that it will bring. It seems that things are and will continue to move out our way. Change is coming...Fast!
