Our County Overview dashboard features a wealth of information about our K-12 student population and we've just updated it to include 2022-23 school year enrollment data. Visit the dashboard here and click on the "Our Student Population" tab to see the updated data. Some pro tips on the dashboard; click on the name of any district or school from the list, or the dots on the map to filter the demographic's data. To see trends in the data for any population, you can hover over the bar chart to see how the population has changed over the last five school years.
