Enrollment stability & demand — 2024-25
Two complementary signals: retention (do students stay once enrolled?) and demand (are families choosing the school?). Read against the Imperial County baseline — the demographic tide is moving every CA HS, so a school's gap vs. county is the actionable signal.
40 of 258 students who enrolled at Ballington Academy For The Arts And Sciences this year didn't maintain continuous enrollment (15.5% non-stability). Mid-year transfers, dropouts, and other exits are all counted.

Cumulative enrollment counts every student on the rolls during the year, so it can exceed peak-day enrollment.
