Of the 12 largest school districts in the Bay Area, the greatest enrollment drops were at Cupertino Unified and San Jose Unified.
Enrollment in California public schools plunged for the second straight school year under COVID restrictions, new figures released Monday show, with the number of K-12 students dipping below 6 million for the first time in more than 20 years, driven in part by dismal numbers in the Bay Area.
The one exception was kindergarteners, who after posting one of the largest drops in enrollment last year were among the biggest increases this school year. Monday’s new figures revealed another surprising turn: Charter school enrollment fell 1.8% statewide last year. Enrollment in the independently-operated public schools had been on the rise for years and now accounts for nearly 12% of all public school students. Large urban districts across the state accounted for nearly one third of the decrease in the current year, according to the California Department of Education.
“These are clear disproportionate declines,” Kaplan said. “We really need to learn more about these students and families’ experiences to understand why.”
