Private School Enrollment Numbers Down

According to a study released by the Hawaii Association of Independent Schools, the annual enrollment for children attending private school in the state has decreased for the fifth consecutive year. Since the 2007 to 2008 school year, the private school system has lost almost 3,200 students, or approximately 8 percent. Experts believe that this is due to tougher economic times compounded with the fact that public charter schools have been becoming more and more popular. A total of 37,097 students are attending private school this year.
