Why have enrollments dropped? Fewer people having kids? Change of demographic to people who are just less likely to have kids?

I was wondering the same thing.

It's definitely not a drop in population :)

Less people having kids because it would be financially devastating with the housing costs and average incomes?

That’s seems to be happening in much of the rest of the expensive cities.

And the ones who can easily afford kids, also send them out to private schools in our town.
