Enrollment in 2024-25 School Year: 562 students welcomed in Park Avenue School

There were 562 students enrolled in Park Avenue School during the 2024-25 school year, 6.2% less than the previous year's 599 students welcomed, according to the Connecticut State Department of Education.

Data also showed that most of the students were Hispanic, representing 77.4% of the Park Avenue School total enrollment.

The school is located in Danbury School District with a central office in Danbury.

In total, there were 508,402 students enrolled in Connecticut during the 2024-25 school year.

Student enrollment has been dropping in Connecticut’s public schools for over a decade now. With the exception of a slight relief in the 2021-22 school year, schools in the state have lost almost 38,000 students since 2014. 

A 2022 survey revealed that nearly 75% of Connecticut teachers were dissatisfied with their working conditions, and a similar percentage considered leaving the profession earlier than planned. Stress and burnout were cited as significant concerns.

Between 2015 and 2021, Connecticut experienced a 16% decrease in the number of graduates completing teacher preparation programs, dropping from 2,132 to 1,788. This decline contributes to the ongoing teacher shortage in the state.
