Danville Public Schools are seeing a dramatic increase in enrollment. The city’s school system currently has 5,736 students attending classes… 231 more students than last year, when 5,505 were enrolled. School officials say the increase in students is due to more students coming from private schools, homeschooling and families who have moved to the city from outside the area. The Virtual Academy has also played a big part in the increase according to Angela Hairston, the Superintendent of Danville Public Schools. She also pointed to the fact that more businesses have moved in to the area, leading to more enrollment in the Danville school system.
