Jorge Figueroa+FollowColorado parents are voting with their feetColorado’s public schools just hit their lowest enrollment in a decade, with over 42,000 fewer students since 2020. Meanwhile, more families are turning to homeschooling, charters, and online options—homeschooling alone is up nearly 20% in two years.
