School Enrollment--Social and Economic Characteristics of Students: October 1984 (Advance Report).
Current Population Reports, Series P-20 n404 p1-13 Nov 1985
This report presents summary data on school enrollment for 1984 and some of the important changes that have occurred in recent years. The data are from the October school enrollment supplements to the Current Population Survey. Some highlights of the topics discussed in this report are: (1) in October 1984 there were 58.8 million persons 3 years old and over enrolled in school; (2) elementary school enrollment was at about 26.8 million, 7.1 million fewer than in the peak year, 1970; (3) high school enrollment was 13.8 million, about 2 million below the 1975-77 peak; (4) there were 12.3 million college students, as there had been in the previous 3 years; and (5) the proportion of black high school graduates under 25 years old with some college experience fell from 50 percent in 1976 to 45 percent. Particular attention is paid in the report to trends in college enrollment by race. Twelve tables present the data and make up the bulk of the document. Analyses of aspects of the data are presented in text form. The source of the data and the reliability of the estimates are assessed in an appendix. (PGD)
