Enrollment numbers in Glendive Public School dropped this fall, with the district reporting 1,079 students on the official count day in October, down from 1,109 students last year. Superintendent Stephen Schreibeis confirmed this trend mirrors a statewide decline in enrollment, particularly in elementary schools.

Student numbers in Glendive Schools have experienced a small, but fairly steady decline over the past 10 years. The highest enrollment in recent decades came at the peak of the most recent oil boom in the fall of 2015, with 1,312 students reported in the district.
