Connecticut’s public school enrollment has been in continuous decline over the past decade, falling to an estimated 508,402 students in the 2024-25 school year, according to state data. That represents a drop of about 4,250 students from the prior year and roughly 33,400 fewer students than a decade ago, extending a long-running downward trend in statewide enrollment.
