AMERICAN FORK — The Alpine School District is building its statewide lead for total number of enrolled students.

Alpine Schools could reach 80,000 students by the end of the school year, and 85,000 by 2023.

The district reports six of the 59 elementary schools have about 1,000 kids each.

Westlake High is among Utah’s biggest with 3,200 students.

Credit goes to Utah County’s overall rising population.

State numbers show Davis Schools rank second with 72,000 students, and Granite Schools with 66,000.

We want to hear from you.
