Enrollment in 2024-25 School Year: 21 students welcomed in Edison Junior-Senior High School

Published 06/10/25

There were 21 students enrolled in Edison Junior-Senior High School during the 2024-25 school year, 23.5% more than the previous year's 17 students welcomed, according to the Colorado Department of Education.

Among the student body, 52.4% were boys and 47.6% were girls.

Data also showed that most of the students were white (16), representing 76.2% of the Edison Junior-Senior High School total enrollment. Hispanic or latino students comprised the second-largest ethnic group, with four students (19%).

The grade level with the highest enrollment was seventh grade, with six students enrolled that year, accounting for 28.6% of the total student body.

The school is located in Edison Joint District No. 54, and has a central office in Yoder.

In total, there were 881,065 students enrolled in Colorado during the 2024-25 school year.

Colorado’s K–12 enrollment has gradually declined each year since the pandemic, with about 3–4% fewer students in 2024 than the state’s peak enrollment in 2019.

The declines are concentrated in the early grades and certain rural areas, while some metro districts are holding steady or growing. Lower birth rates and pandemic disruptions are driving the trend. Colorado’s public schools are now serving the smallest number of students in a decade, a shift that has implications for funding and planning even as per-pupil resources increase to compensate.

Colorado’s teacher workforce faces persistent shortages and pay challenges. In the 2023–24 school year, nearly 7,000 teaching positions were vacant statewide at some point. Districts managed to fill only about 75% of those openings with fully qualified hires, leaving many to be filled by short-term substitutes, retirees, or emergency credentials for the rest, while 9% remained unfilled for the entire school year.
