HeyTutor investigated how K-12 enrollment has changed in every state and Washington D.C. during the COVID-19 pandemic, using data from the National Center for Education Statistics.
Grade school enrollment for students in first through eighth grade was stalling even before COVID-19 hit the U.S. Between the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 academic years, about half of states were already seeing a decrease in enrollment for these grades. By the 2020-2021 school year, that trend expanded to all but one area: Washington D.C. About 650 additional students enrolled for grades one through eight for the 2020-2021 school year in Washington D.C., demonstrating the growth of approximately 1%.
Bucking the trend set by K-8 enrollment, the number of students pursuing a high school education is continuing to generally increase. Thirteen states saw a decline in enrollment for grades nine through 12 between the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 academic years. For the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 school years, 16 total states saw a decline in high school enrollment.
