flag Wichita schools enroll 45,075 students in 2025-26, a 3% drop due to lower births, shifting families, and more private/homeschooling.

flag Wichita Public Schools enrollment dropped to 45,075 for the 2025-26 school year, a 3% decline from the previous year, continuing a long-term trend linked to lower birth rates, shifting housing patterns, and increased private and homeschooling. flag The district is exploring school consolidations to address aging, costly buildings and declining student numbers, despite voters rejecting a $450 million bond in February. flag While the district gained 1,557 students, it lost about 2,400 to inter-district transfers, partly due to a 2022 open enrollment law. flag Officials are planning a potential bond vote in November 2026. flag Nationwide, public school enrollment is projected to continue declining over the next decade.
