Monifieth High School is among five Angus schools which are almost full.
Four primary schools are also operating at over 90% of their capacity. They are Hayshead, Murroes, Seaview and Liff.
As a move to a new building nears, Monifieth High School remains well occupied.
It was just 25 pupils shy of its 1060 capacity during the last pupil census in September 2023.
The new Monifieth High School, due to open next August, will be able to accommodate 1,200 pupils.

Data on school buildings across Scotland was released this week.
We have looked at the occupancy rates for every Angus Council secondary and primary as of September 2023.
Unlike neighbouring Dundee City, Fife and Stirling council areas, Angus has no schools which are over-capacity.
At the other end of the scale, several schools have far fewer pupils than they could have.
Angus schools with fewest pupils
Those with the lowest occupancy are:
- Newbigging Primary – 6 pupils (12%)
- Carmyllie Primary – 19 pupils (19.2%)
- Aberlemno Primary – 11 pupils (22%)
- Tannadice Primary – 81 pupils (30.3%)
The capacity of a school is based the size of available teaching space, rather than the entire building.
Data released by the Scottish Government is based on a pupil census conducted in September 2023.
An Angus Council spokesperson said: “We are managing this [school occupancy levels] through the careful consideration of placing requests, reconfiguration of internal spaces where practical and consideration of temporary interventions such as modular units.
“Where appropriate we seek developer contributions.”
