The grade with the second highest number of students was seventh grade, with 986 students, or 8.2% of the student body.
The school that had the highest number of sixth grade students in San Jacinto Unified School District during the period was North Mountain Middle School, while San Jacinto Technology Institute had the fewest.
Overall, San Jacinto Unified School District enrolled 11,962 students, ranking as the 134th highest enrolled district in California for the 2023-24 school year. It ranked 133rd highest in the previous school year.
California's public schools face a growing financial crisis driven by declining enrollment and an increase in chronic absenteeism, both impacting the state's school funding model.
Enrollment, which peaked at 6.3 million students in the early 2000s, has steadily declined to under 6 million today, with projections indicating it could fall below 5.2 million by 2032. This trend is attributed to lower birth rates, slowed immigration, and families relocating out of state due to high housing costs. Rural and coastal districts have been particularly affected, facing tough decisions such as school closures and staffing reductions.
At the same time, chronic absenteeism has surged from 12% pre-pandemic to 25%, disproportionately impacting younger students and jeopardizing their long-term success.
