What stands out about Enumclaw School District

  • Enrolment grew 6.0% here, from 4,183 students in FY2019 to 4,436 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
