While SFUSD shrinks....
...the Marin IJ reprots that Mill Valley school enrollment keeps growing
A Mill Valley school enrollment boom that has exceeded officials' expectations likely will continue, brought on by a migration of young families to town, a new report concludes.Could there be some correlation here?

i think not.
Although SFUSD's enrollment has declined, all of the research I've done shows that there has been a big improvement in the schools over the last 5-10 years. Also, it seems that some families who wouldn't dare consider SFUSD are starting to realize it's not as bad as people tell them it is. Does anyone has any data indicating trends over the last 5-10 years of enrollment figures broken down demographically? Are there specific trends within racial and/or socioeconomical groups? If SFUSD is becoming more appealing (thanks to PPS, increased API scores, and hidden gem schools), is the group that accounts for the District's decline in enrollment the low-income families fleeing the City due to the esculating cost of living?
There was a study conducted around the time of the last round of school closures. I'll see if I can dig up a link. Not sure if it had the meaty demographic breakdown you're after -- that would be very interesting.
