Enrollment across the United States is forecast to top 51.7 million students this fall, surpassing the 1971 baby boom cohort. Districts expand capacity, add portable classrooms, and consider year-round calendars to manage crowded schools and teacher-student ratios. In Montgomery County Maryland growth runs about 3,000 students yearly with new immigrants from El Salvador Nicaragua Vietnam Cambodia and the former Soviet Union feeding the rise.
