If you believe 100 students to be the accurate number that are actually matriculated at SJ, you're going to have provide a citation. Until then I reverted it to the previous number. Let me know if you have any questions.

Well, I attend school there. And there is actually much less than 100 students there. Closer to 80. A simple call to the Registrar can comfirm this fact.


 * Well I don't doubt you at all, in terms of on-campus population (I also live in Sitka). However, one must include "continuing education" students as well in the total count. Regardless, a citation is necessary one can't ask a typical Wikipedia user to "call the Registrar" to confirm the validity of a fact posted in an article. Surely the registrar has this information posted online somewhere?

No, unfortunately, they do not have this posted online. I can personally attest that, including coninuing education students, there are 100 matriculated students. On campus? Maybe 75. The school does not put this online because they do not want their complete failure to attract students known. When I arrived they told me 300 were enrolled. I later found out that it was closer to 115 at the time.
