HVRSD: Enrollment
Here are enrollment figures for the Hopewell Valley Regional School District and some nearby districts. I calculated percent growth just from 1996-2002 because Ewing grew enormously in 1995-96 but has grown only slightly since.

The really curious thing about HVRSD enrollment figures is the number of children in Special Education:

As you can see, for some reason our figures for Special Ed flucuated by up to a factor of 10 from one year to the next, in contrast to othe districts. Princeton's figures also vary a lot, but "only" by a factor of 4 or 5 at most. If you know why this is, let me know.
