APS Enrollment Plummets

APS’ response to COVID continues to be reflected in APS’s enrollment data for this school year (which is largely consistent with APE’s analyses of such unenrollment from this past summer). Based on the enrollment data from the first week of school, APS’ enrollment:
declined 4.4% (approx. 1,200 students) since June 2020; and
is 11.5% (approx. 3,100 students) less than APS projected in 2019
that enrollment would be for this school year.
Other notable unenrollment figures vs. June 2020 include:
Pre-K enrollment declined 22% (approx. 240 students)
enrollment declined 11.7% (approx. 260 students)
For those kids who were in APS in Grades K-6 in June 2020, enrollment of those same students (now in Grades 2-8) declined 9.3% (approx. 210 students per grade)
This level of unenrollment is stunning, because it happened both with K and Pre-K (new students) as well as existing APS students. We know that strong public schools rely on the community's trust in them--when large numbers of children are being sent to private school instead of public, it speaks to concerns that parents have with public school quality. We ask what APS is doing to ensure these kids come back to APS, and that in subsequent years we have new students enrolling in our public schools rather than private ones.[/quote]

Ha Ha.  By "plummets," APE means APS enrollment rises slightly from September 2020.  You can't make this up (of course they did just that, LOL).[/quote]

Haha - yeah, if you take a look at June 2021 to August 2021, it rose by even more.  It rose between the 1st day of school and the end of this week too.  Let's instead cherry pick numbers vs. looking at enrollment decline from APS' handling of COVID from March or June 2020.

Pathetic (but funny)[/quote]
