This graph displays the cumulative enrollment for California's K-12 public schools. Unlike the Census Day Enrollment data in the graph on the left, which are recorded in October of each school year, Cumulative Enrollment counts are collected at the end of the year and consist of the total number of unduplicated primary and short-term enrollments within the academic year. Cumulative enrollment is used to calculate rates for absenteeism, suspension and expulsion. NOTE: Because they are two separate data collections and intended for different purposes, Census Day Enrollment and Cumulative Enrollment cannot be used interchangeably. Please see our How Students are Counted article to learn more.

Use the menus above the graph to view data by race/ethnicity, program subgroup or by whether the students attend traditional district schools or charter schools.

Data collected by the California Department of Education (CDE) through the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS). Cumulative enrollment counts can be found in the data files provided by the CDE Data Reporting Office at: https://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/ad/filesenrcum.asp
