Abstract:
For the past five years, public school enrollment in North Carolina has had a net growth of 99,201 pupils. More than 52% of this growth was concentrated in only the five fastest growing counties (Mecklenburg, Guilford, Cumberland, Forsyth, and Wake), and 90% of the growth in only 25 of the state's 100 counties. There have been decreases in the number of pupils over the same five year period in counties such as Johnston, Madison, Cherokee, Yancey, and Avery.
