District Rollups

📊 The state of California districts

California's public-HS districts are sorting — most are shrinking, but the spread between districts is enormous

Between 2020 and 2025, across 512 measured California HS districts, total public + charter high-school enrollment fell -4.9% — a net change of -111,303 students. But the aggregate hides enormous district-to-district variation:

The spread: from -54.0% (steepest decline) to +91.2% (steepest growth) over the same 5 years, same state, same demographic headwinds. The aggregate trend isn't fate — district choices and positioning matter. This is the dynamic a Reach Report unpacks at the district level →

Method: Total HS enrollment by district (public + charter), comparing 2020 to 2025. Districts with fewer than 200 HS students in 2020 are excluded (drops single-school micro-districts where one absolute change swings the %). Virtual / nonclassroom-based schools excluded throughout.
