Enrollment in flux as home sales slow
High home prices are having a sustained impact on enrollment in Round Rock ISD, a new demographic report for the district shows.
The Zonda Education report suggests that home prices and interest rates have made it difficult for young families to purchase a home in the district. Even as more homes are built, sales within the district have fallen by roughly half over the past three years, Zonda President Bob Templeton said.
The details
Demographers from the firm indicated that the recent decrease could have a lasting impact on student enrollment, as young families are more likely to have school-aged children. The uncertainty around enrollment comes with a potential financial impact, administrators say, as Texas schools rely on a combination of enrollment and attendance to receive funding.
