Some 200 K-12 schools in Alberta are over capacity in the 2023-24 school year .

Another 27 schools are at 100 per cent capacity, having the same number of students enrolled as they were designed to hold.

Dozens more sit between 97 and 99 per cent full, in some cases only a few new students away from running out of room.

Alberta Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides says the province is adding funding for over-capacity schools.
