Census 2000 Brief: School Enrollment: 2000
According to Census 2000, more than onefourth of the U.S. population aged 3 and older attended school in the spring of 2000. The 76.6 million students included 5.0 million enrolled in nursery school, 4.2 million in kindergarten, 33.7 million in elementary school, 16.4 million in high school, 14.4 million in college (undergraduate), and 3.1 million in graduate school.
(76.6 minus 14.4 in college and 3.1 in graduate school = 59.5 million)

>It appears that in the 2000 census there were 59.5 million students enrolled in PK-12 but in 2021 there were 49.5 million. That's a 10 million student decline. could that all be due to an increase in homeschooling? seems unlikely while the total population is supposed to have gone up by 50 million.
