As public school enrollment plummets citywide, hard-hit West Harlem schools work to support students
In the 2020-21 academic year, New York City’s
average decrease in public school enrollment compared to the 2019-20 academic year was approximately 4 percent.
For every 50 students that were enrolled in the 2019-20 academic year,
two students were not enrolled for the 2020-21 school year.
However, West Harlem’s district saw unenrollment rates
over twice as high as New York City’s average.
