Greenburgh public school enrollment stabilizes (and even increases courtesy of Elmsford)

Greenburgh's ten public school districts (with three that include areas outside of the town) cumulatively saw an enrollment increase of .5% after three years of declines.  Surprisingly, the biggest increase from last year- in both percentage and absolute numbers - came in the small Elmsford School District.  Notably, Greenburgh Central saw a small increase after six consecutive years of declines.  GC fell from 1,757 in '15-'16 to 1,507 in '21-22, for a 14% K-12 enrollment decrease over those years, plummeting to its lowest enrollment on record last year.   On the decline side, Ardsley peaked after several years of rapid growth and Edgemont in now the leader in enrollment decrease this year and over the past three years (taking away that distinction from GC).  Still, the school districts (with the exception of Elmsford and, effectively, Dobbs Ferry) have not yet recovered their pre-COVID '19-'20 enrollments; these enrollments are reported to the State Education Department in the fall, so '19'-'20 numbers were reported prior to the impact of COVID in the spring of 2020.  All these numbers come from http://www.nysed.gov. and are reported by the school districts.
