Personally I see both Levy's passing as the Vote was to close last time and to many parents have been negatively impacted by the shorter school day and no busing.
 
I also do not see the admin making any significant changes that are going to improve Middletowns Test scores and this alone will cause the enrollment to decline even further.  This will be particularly true once students reach Middle Schools as both Middle Schools in Middletown are way below par.
 
This years decline is greater than the total enrollment of Rosedale Elementary last year, in otherwords one whole elementary school student population moved out this year.  Just to put things in perspective.

If the current trend continues, enrollment could drop below 6000 in the next two years.

If the new money levy for school fails (renewal levy should pass easily) we could see an acceleration of enrollment declines.
