Do You Know Where the Children Are? A Five-Year Analysis of Public School Enrollment examines public school enrollment trends over the last five school years (2019-2024), focusing on patterns between public charter schools and district schools since the pandemic. It examines year-to-year changes in overall enrollment, with charter schools showing significant growth across a majority of the U.S. Additionally, the report delves into demographic trends, highlighting the increasing enrollment of Hispanic and Black students in charter schools. Finally, the research shows that, in a majority of the U.S., the rate of enrollment in public charter schools outpaces the rate of student population growth, indicating that families are increasingly choosing public schools that have the freedom and flexibility to meet their child’s needs and equip them for a successful future.
