School districts statewide are grappling with declining enrollment, which means resources at some schools are being cut, with teachers being swapped to different schools.
While the pandemic turned things upside down for many, KIRO 7 spoke with a mom who said her daughter, who is a bright kid, is taking third-grade math in the second grade.
Then in fourth grade: “They had low enrollment and took a small group of fourth graders and put them in a third-grade class as a split class, but with no notice,” mom Courtney said. Some told KIRO 7 that Seattle’s gifted or highly capable program was changing in a way that no longer provided the same advanced class options for their kids.Others switched because private schools reopened more quickly to in-person learning.
Also in the top 10 list of schools with the steepest enrollment drops is the school where Courtney’s older daughter attended, Montlake Elementary, which lost 26.4% of its students, or 66 students.“I do feel guilty because we are part of that flight, and I feel like we tried for a long time to be part of the solution and it just didn’t seem to matter,” Courtney said.The archdiocese for schools in Seattle said enrollment at their 72 Catholic schools in Seattle increased by 6% on average.
