Growing suburban Sacramento school districts spared painful trend of state’s declining enrollment |
Natomas Unified, which serves 10,766 students in Sacramento, was the only school district in Sacramento County to have increased student enrollment since 2019. It added 271 students. Another 5,327 students in the district’s boundaries are served by charter schools. The charter schools grew by 250 students during that time. While new housing construction in the suburbs around Sacramento has saved some school districts in the region from the belt-tightening that comes with declining student enrollment, most area districts face tough financial decisions to balance their budgets. |
