SACRAMENTO, Calif. — School districts across California have experienced substantial decreases in enrollment since the 2019-2020 school year due to a variety of factors related to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on students and families.

The state's average enrollment decline was 5% and the largest districts in the Sacramento region are seeing a similar trend.

Newly released data from the California Department of Education reveals a pattern of decreasing annual student enrollment in Sacramento City Unified School District (SCUSD), among other large districts, since the start of the pandemic.
