[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I checked the numbers and stats for a variety of schools across the county and with different demographics. The numbers are falling at the elementary level, while being mixed at the MS and HS levels. Some falling, some staying about the same, some slightly increasing. The lower/mixed income MS/HS that I looked at had enrollment drops. I bolded where the enrollments were found to have increased vs. the end of last year.

I'm going to keep looking at the elementary numbers and pull a few more. I'm curious if the random schools I just chose by looking at a list of the Title 1 schools and then looking at a map for the rest are representative of all the schools in the county. Every school I looked at except 1 at the elementary level, fell in enrollment from the end of last school year to September of this school year.

Some of these schools may be AAP centers.  Some may have preK special ed.  etc.  It's really hard to compare.[/quote]

Yes, they all have different programming, but seemingly the numbers are falling at most elementaries across different pyramids and different demographics. That means it’s not “fear of ICE raids.” It’s a deeper demographic issue.

In 4 short years when the current 9th graders (which happens to be a larger group relative to the other grades) have graduated - there will be an additional fall-off in total enrollment. [/quote]
