Cleveland Public Schools saw a slight decline in overall enrollment but administrators are optimistic when looking more closely at the numbers. While the senior class is down 33 students from last year, retention of students within grades improved, with the largest drops in 5th and 6th grades. Administrators attribute some enrollment changes to the virtual EPIC Charter Schools but believe most students will return to Cleveland schools. The superintendent takes pride in programs like CPAC that provide alternative learning options to keep students engaged.
