OCT. 11, 2023 — Total school enrollment experienced a growth of 1.3 million from 2021 to 2022, reaching a total of 75.2 million students enrolled, according to new data from the 2022 Current Population Survey (CPS) released today. This marked the highest enrollment count since 2019 of 76.1 million students, from which it was not significantly different. Since 2020, school enrollment has steadily increased and has rebounded to pre-pandemic levels; however, total school enrollment in 2022 remains lower than the 76.8 million students in 2018. Overall, the percentage of individuals age 3 and above enrolled in 2022 (23.7%) remains lower than in 2019 (24.3%).
