BLUE HILL-George Stevens Academy's anticipated enrollment for the next three years is around 221 students, Head of School Dan Welch said during a meeting with the Blue Hill Budget Committee on February 14. Currently enrollment stands at 229.

GSA's projections include a "dip" in demographics from the sending towns, Welch said. Budget committee member John Richardson, who is also on the Blue Hill school board, said Blue Hill Consolidated School's enrollment is pretty level and wondered where the dip would come from. Welch said that the smaller schools in the area have populations that "fluctuate" more than that of BHCS.
