FY 2022 Educational Facilities Master Plan

The total home school population for ‘20-’21 was 877, a significant increase from last year due to COVID (see figure 6 & 7). A large portion of the home school students are of elementary age (50%). The breakdown for middle and high school percentages were 25% and 25%. We saw a decrease in 10% at the middle school level for home school students which may be attributed to public school virtual learning due to COVID.
