US Schools Report Sharp Drop in Immigrant Enrollment
Enrollment of immigrant newcomer students dropped sharply this year, causing budget shortfalls and program closures in major U.S. districts, including Miami-Dade's 82% decline.
- U.S. schools are reporting steep declines in newcomer enrollment, with about 2,550 students from immigrant families entering Miami-Dade County Public Schools this year, down from nearly 14,000 last year.
- Federal enforcement and family returns have reduced new arrivals, as some parents have been deported or voluntarily returned amid President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.
- In several districts, summer intake collapsed, with Houston ISD closing Las Americas Newcomer School after enrollment fell to 21 from 111 last year, and Chelsea signed 152 newcomers versus 592 the previous summer.
- District leaders warn of staffing and budget losses, with Bart Reeves, Albertville City Schools Superintendent, expecting enrollment declines this year to cost about 12 teacher positions.
- Educators note newcomers historically bolstered per-pupil funding, and roughly a quarter of departures are returning to native countries, with some families, like those in Palm Beach County, flying home.
