PFLUGERVILLE ISD ROUND ROCK ISD
After losing more than 10,000 students in the last ve years, Austin ISD is projecting enrollment will stay relatively stable despite ballooning recapture payments, which are calculated using enrollment data.
Although P ugerville ISD’s enrollment is projected to decrease more than 2% from the 2019-20 to the 2022-23 school year, enrollment has been steadily increasing since the 2020-21 school year.
Compared with neighboring school districts, Round Rock ISD has a signi cantly lower number of economically disadvantaged students at 22.19%, meaning it would not receive as much state funding under Title I for education programs.
