There were 3,080 students enrolled in Guilford School District in the 2024-25 school year, 1.6% less than the previous year, according to the Connecticut State Department of Education.
Data also showed that most of the students were white, representing 79% of the district’s total enrollment.
Guilford School District roughly covers seven schools within New Haven County and has a main office in Guilford.
Among those schools, Guilford High School recorded the highest enrollment of 1,008 students in the 2024-25 school year.
Connecticut’s public school enrollment has been in continuous decline over the past decade, falling to an estimated 508,402 students in the 2024-25 school year, according to state data. That represents a drop of about 4,250 students from the prior year and roughly 33,400 fewer students than a decade ago, extending a long-running downward trend in statewide enrollment.
A similar pattern also appears in nonpublic schools. Data from the Connecticut State Department of Education shows about 53,000 students were enrolled in nonpublic schools in 2023-24, slightly fewer than in 2019-20 and well below levels in the late 2010s.
