Of all the students welcomed in the 2023-24 school year, 51.6% were boys, and 48.4% were girls.

Data also showed that the majority of students were Asian, making up 56.8% of the total enrollment in Dublin High School.

Among the 318 schools in Alameda County, Berkeley High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 3,220 students, while James Logan High School welcomed 3,151 students and ranked third in the 2023-24 school year.

Although chronic absenteeism in California decreased in 2023, it remains double the pre-pandemic rate. According to the Public Policy Institute of California, chronic absenteeism in the state public schools reached 25% in 2023, up from 12% in 2019.

After peaking at 6.3 million in the early 2000s, public school enrollment in California has marked its seventh consecutive decline in the 2023-24 school year, with projections indicating it could fall to approximately 5.2 million by the 2033-34 school year. This trend is attributed to lower birth rates, slowed immigration, and families relocating out of state due to high housing costs. Rural and coastal districts have been particularly affected, facing tough decisions such as school closures and staffing reductions.
