Heber Elementary School District’s schools enrolled 1,186 students in the 2023-24 school year, the same number as the previous year, according to the California Department of Education.
Of all the students welcomed in the 2023-24 school year, 53.6% of them were boys, and 46.3% were girls.
Heber Elementary School District covers two schools within Imperial County with its main office in Heber.
Among the two schools in Heber Elementary School District, Dogwood Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of 627 students in the 2023-24 school year.
After peaking at 6.3 million in the early 2000s, public school enrollment in California has marked its seventh consecutive decline in the 2023-24 school year, with projections indicating it could fall to approximately 5.2 million by the 2033-34 school year. This trend is attributed to lower birth rates, slowed immigration, and families relocating out of state due to high housing costs. Rural and coastal districts have been particularly affected, facing tough decisions such as school closures and staffing reductions.
