Demographic shifts in many Long island school districts (Roosevelt, Nassau: neighborhoods, closing)

[ckhthankgod]

Here is an article I came across in Newsday that offers information in regards to demographics in Long Island schools.

Racial demographics rapidly shifting in Long Island schools: https://www.newsday.com/long-island/...8&utm_term=sub

It charts every school district in Nassau and Suffolk Counties and it is interesting how enrollment in many, if not most districts has declined from 2000-2001 to 2020-2021.

Also, I'm wondering if this is occurring in regards to private schools on Long Island as well? Have many families just decided to go with private and even newer charter options now?

Well what we will see is more of a demographic shift in higher income neighborhoods . Immigrants still have large families so this will keep schools from closing and faculty from losing jobs.

If anyone could post the article here that would be great. I can only read the top lines. Thanks in advance.

Does it list the percentage of illegal alien kids?

Population growth on LI has been of older people, not younger people. There's been a long decline of school-age children.

Yeah I wonder how they factor the Hispanic numbers.
Supposedly this is by census numbers right?
So it might just be documented kids.
There’s a few districts I saw that I said to myself, there is way more than that number enrolled.
So IDK. Maybe someone can clarify?

Interesting:

“The 2020-21 school year also was the first time in which Asian students outnumbered Black students, whose enrollment slowly has been declining in percentage and number, accounting for about 9%, or 39,195, of Island students.”
