Pond Union Elementary School District's only school enrolled 184 students in the 2022-23 school year, 3.4% more than the previous year, according to the California Department of Education.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 52.2% of them were boys, and 47.8% were girls.

In the last decade, enrollment in California elementary and secondary schools rose by at least 5%, while high school enrollment dropped 5%.

However, overall enrollment in California public schools is sliding, and the Public Policy Institute of California expects it to drop another 8% by the 2031-32 school year.
