Why not google that for yourself like anyone else will? You really don't think that is information that is on the tip of someone's tongue do you? Maybe for a home district, but not the other one. Unless of course you are very lucky and another poster has already researched this.
Each October, the teachers and staff have to compile BEDS forms to send to the State Education Department. Newsday should be publishing this information in charts, but generally fails to do so. The catch is total enrollment vs. grade-by-grade enrollment. Before the coronavirus hit, these numbers would be far more meaningful. Example: In some parts of Long Island, the housing tracts boomed in 1953-1960. This led to a boom-and-bust cycle, as the youngsters moved to college and away. I can recall one time when 8th grade had twice the numbers of 2nd grade, and not even the teachers' union spoke of the impending lose of jobs and closing of buildings.

It should be easy to ask the district clerk (of the district you live in) for a grade-by-grade enrollment list. Supply a stamped-addressed envelope and a chart the clerk can fill in. One time the reluctant clerk said, "We need a freedom-of-information form." I pressed as a resident, and the info came immediately.

The number of graduating seniors should be a good barometer. However, I have closely followed the publicity surrounding this covid year's graduations, and numbers are not forthcoming. The Catholic schools that boast the loudest also do not disclose actual graduation figures nor the enrollment per grade. On the elementary level, several Catholic schools have closed at K-8 enrollment of 100 or less, when they had been declaring numbers higher than 300.

I suspect that colleges are also hiding enrollment problems.

The salesmen for a new car dealership do not disclose they have hundreds of inventory in a lot two miles away. Schools do not disclose they need your child.
IMO, there's a big difference between giving someone the answer and telling someone "the answer you're looking for can be found in..." but to each their own.
There are all sorts of data on that site, but it includes only public and charter schools. I suggest that since all schools receive NYS money for the collection of this data, all school figures should be posted.

I suggested they try google like everyone does. Sorry, laziness is just not something I am willing to feed into. I refuse to spoon feed someone and tell them where to look for an answer. That party went to the trouble to sign up for CD. It would have been faster to simply google it. Let Abe go to his mommy if he needs help.
