Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD enrollment is projected to continue to decline over the next decade, data shows. The district’s Community Advisory Committee received a report on district demographics from Bob Templeton, Zonda Edu- cation’s vice president of school district segment, who provided statistics on student enrollment on March 20. The overview Overall, district enrollment decreased by 1.3% in the 2024- 25 school year, which can be attributed to outgoing 12th grad- ers and incoming kindergartners, SCUCISD enrollment on the decline
Templeton said. In 2023-24, there were 1,286 12th graders in the district, compared to 737 kinder- gartners coming into SCUCISD in 2024-25. “That’s what causes this anom- aly ... You think, well we should be growing 200 kids, but then you have to factor in the mobility and the aging up and the advancing of grade levels,” Templeton said. Kindergarten enrollment has been on the downswing this decade, with the 2024-25 enroll- ment down over 300 from the 2019-20 school year. The ratio of kindergarten enrollment to district births is also at its lowest point in over a decade at about 0.81. Enrollment at nearby charter schools has been “siphoning off a share” of kindergarten enroll- ment, with the “charter erosion” factor also hurting many districts throughout the area, Templeton said.
