Not a pretty picture for the smaller towns. My hometown has steadily declined in number of students.

Not just the smaller towns. Hinds County dropped from 7,393 in 2012 to 6,673 four years later but it could be partly attributed to demographic changes as Rankin and Madison counties moved up from a combined number of 6,195 students to 6,506 during that same time period.

Desoto County, and the coast counties, also grew. But bottom line, it's not a good trend, and you can see out out-of-state enrollment is increasing. That's great for short term supplementation, but eventually we are going to have address the population and demographic shifts in Mississippi.

Who are the 58 knuckleheads from Starkville that went to Ole Miss? well i can think of one.

Interesting that State has more students than OM from Tennessee.
