Seattle Schools See Unexpected Enrollment Boost, Defying Drop Projections
Seattle Public Schools (SPS) has reported a surprising rise in student enrollment this October, marking the first increase since 2019. Following years of pandemic-related declines, this shift has prompted district leaders to reconsider previously proposed school closures and adjust funding strategies tied to student numbers.
With this potential turning point in post-pandemic recovery, SPS plans to release updated enrollment and consolidation plans, while officials and the community monitor its impact on long-term resource and program funding decisions.
