East Valley School Enrollment

During the last five years, public school districts in the East Valley have experienced instability in their student enrollment, with several school districts reporting steady declines in their numbers. Individual schools in the older neighborhoods of Tempe, Mesa, Chandler and Gilbert have been some of the hardest hit. Schools at the outer edges of the East Valley, particularly in the Southeast, continue to grow.
