#school size

If you're in the under 500 or over 2500 category, let me know how many kids your school had!!

I’m the anon who was trying to pick a major psych, international affairs, political science. I’m pretty set on political science and either double major that with international biz. Or biz be a minor but now I’m still freaking about about choosing a college I have a list safety, match, and reach but the only ones I can afford is my match schools that I don’t think I would get many connections out of school/ state as I want to move away after college bc my state schools are not very good. 1/2  

I mean there fine but they are not what I want. And now I’m double guessing my major because it’s political science a safe investment in my future? I’m quite literally having a freak out session in the parking lot of my minimum wage job about this lol any ways do you think I’m on the right track? 2/2 thank you!

Hi! I hope it’s okay I included all the parts of your updates. It’s so rare I get updates, let alone two updates (!!) from folks who’ve asked questions, so this feels pretty special. I was wondering if you were okay, and I’m glad you’ve sorted things out for now. I'm trying to get better at keeping up and responding more quickly, but this week got away from me.

I like this major/minor combination you’ve got here: I think international business will give you an edge as a poli sci major when you’re searching for jobs and internships. That said, if you change your mind again, that’s super normal and I’m sure it’ll be a thoughtful decision.

Going to school out-of-state can be expensive, but private scholarships are a thing, too, so I’d encourage you to look into those. I’d also recommend contacting admissions offices at the colleges you’re interested in and see what they say about financial aid opportunities for out-of-state students (like getting in-state tuition). I recommend reaching out after the start of this school year, since right now they’re focusing on this year’s incoming students. Many colleges are struggling right now, but part of that is because they’re desperate to enroll students, and it sounds like you have academic success that would appeal to them.

I do want to note that it may be worth looking into (financially stable) smaller or medium-sized colleges out-of-state, as they may be especially interested in attracting more students from out-of-state since their in-state applicant pools are smaller. Of course there are other things to consider like program quality and making connections, but it's a strategy I wanted to mention.

Josh Verges guest post

Of the hundreds of public elementary schools in South Dakota, numbers 2 and 3 in K-5 enrollment are Discovery and R.F. Pettigrew on the west side of Sioux Falls.

According to the Department of Education, Discovery had 699 students in the fall of 2012 and Pettigrew had 694, plus 84 in early childhood programming.

Only Sturgis Elementary had more, with 718 plus 12 preschoolers.

More recent numbers from the Sioux Falls School District put Pettigrew at 764 and Discovery at 716.

So, how does another 180 students sound?

A plan put forth by Superintendent Pam Homan on Wednesday would add a fifth section of classrooms at both Discovery and Pettigrew, rather than building a new elementary school next to McGovern Middle School.

Large schools are no doubt more cost-effective, but parents in general -- there are exceptions -- prefer to send their kids to a small elementary. We saw that when Homan decided to consolidate Mark Twain and Longfellow elementary schools.

If the latest plan advances, before long enrollment at Discovery and Pettigrew should approach 900 students – larger than all but eight or nine public high schools in the state.

Which raises another question: Will the Pettigrew Panthers petition up to Class 11AA football?
