Since 2019, Seattle schools have seen a 6.4% enrollment decline, district reports show. If 2022-23 school year projections hold true, the district could see an 8% drop from the earlier peak.
When Seattle mom Ashley Bede moved to Laurelhurst six years ago, the local public elementary school was a big attraction.: A significant and continuing drop in student enrollment. This fall-off is more than double the statewide 3.4% decline in the same time period.In absolute numbers, Seattle schools are planning for 48,748 students to return to classrooms this fall. That is down from a 52,793 peak just three years ago.
“When I toured, it looked incredible,” said Bede, who serves on diversity committees for both her college alma mater and her children’s current school. “Teachers are the most important part of any system,” she responded. “If teachers aren’t getting the support that they need to do their very best, then that is where we’re falling short for our educators as well as our kids.”
The district points to an expected decline due to a lower birthrate. Some parents blame COVID safety and health concerns for keeping their children out of Seattle’s public schools.
