Arizona Department Of Education Releases This Year’s Enrollment Numbers For Public Schools

The Arizona Department of Education announced the statewide public-school enrollment numbers from the 2021 and 2022 school year, which shows a large increase of over 20-thousand students, or a one-point-eight percent increase from the previous school year. Winslow Unified District currently has 1,831 students, down from 1,837 students last year. Flagstaff Unified School District has 9,094, which is up from 8,945 students and Prescott Unified District has 3,817, up from 3,812 students last year. At the beginning of the pandemic last March, many families had pulled their children out of school for their safety. As the pandemics numbers are getting smaller, school staff, social workers, and counselors have been working around the clock to welcome kids back to in-person learning. Arizona public schools have received over four-billion dollars in federal relief to help students return to in-person class and normalcy.
