K-12 public schools across California are already struggling to come back from COVID-19 and they could lose hundreds of thousands of students by the end of the decade. KPBS Education Reporter M.G. Perez has more on the big enrollment drop.
The State is projecting K-12 public school enrollment in California will drop by 9% before the end of the decade. Reasons for the decrease in students include transfers to other districts or to private schools, and families leaving the state for more affordable living.
In the Poway Unified School District, the drop has been significant since the initial pandemic shut down in March 2020. At that time, the total enrollment numbers provided by the district showed 36,514. A year later in February 2021, that dropped to 35,614 students. Just last month, it was at barely 35,000 students — a total loss of 1,460 in two years.
