ENROLLMENT (Total – All Inclusive)

The enrollment projects are based on the total students enrolled in Stratford Public Schools. One of the primary drivers of future enrollment is births to residents. The report examines births and their relationship to kindergarten enrollment. Several factors that influence school enrollment – town populations, women of child-bearing age, employment, housing, migration, non-public enrollment, dropouts and resident enrollment in other public schools.
