S. population over the age of 3 were enrolled in school in 2018.1 This report brings together the latest data from both the ACS and the Current Population Survey (CPS); two complementary U. S. Census Bureau surveys that provide data on school enrollment in the United States, in order to provide a comprehensive, holistic picture of the state of school enrollment. Specifically, this report outlines the current picture of education in America and discusses how the latest numbers compare with historical levels.2  \nThe data in this report are the most recent available from the surveys reported here. More recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused major disruptions in activities in the United States and around the world. Preliminary indications from other sources show that school enrollment was changed in form more than in numbers. According to data from the Census Bureau’s Household Pulse survey, nearly 93 percent of people in households with school-aged children reported their children engaged in some form of “distance learning” from home.3 Data collected by the National Student Clearinghouse show that changes in college enrollment (including shifts in the number of courses  \n1 Percent enrolled is calculated from ACS Detailed Table B14001 .
