Salt Lake City schools once again saw a drop in student enrollment this fall — a trend that has continued to ail the school district over the last decade.

Quantz noted some “significant enrollment changes” in a number of schools, five of which are currently being studied for potential closure: Hawthorne Elementary was down 12.4%; Bennion was down 10.9%; Mary W. Jackson was down 13.1%; Newman was down 16.1%; and Riley was down 13.8% from last year. Other changes reflected in the data included kindergarten enrollment dropping 5.8% overall, though it’s “not uncommon” for those numbers to fluctuate, Quantz said.
Two district-sponsored charter schools — Open Classroom and Salt Lake School for the Performing Arts — also saw a loss of students. Open Classroom lost 21 students while SPA lost 37.Meadowlark Elementary School, about 2 miles west of the Utah State Fairpark, saw almost a 6% bump in enrollment, Quantz said. Other schools not highlighted in his presentation saw around a 1-2% positive or negative change in students, he noted.
Since the 2013-2014 school year, the district has gone from almost 24,000 students to now 18,966 students.
