Connecticut’s student demographics are changing, with the latest data from the state Department of Education showing a 6% decline in enrollment over the past decade. In the 2014-15 school year, there were 546,349 students, compared to 512,652 in 2023-24, resulting in a loss of about 33,000 students. Fran Rabinowitz, executive director of the Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents, noted this downward trend is evident across schools. Contributing factors include fewer children being born, an aging population, and the overall high cost of living in the state.
