Peninsula Union Elementary ranked 68th in attendance within Humboldt County with 35 students enrolled during the 2018-19 school year, according to the California Department of Education. The school with the highest enrollment in the county during the school year was Eureka Senior High.

According to numbers provided by the National Center for Education Services, California is expected to see a decrease of three percent in public elementary and secondary school enrollment from 2017-2029. The state expected to see the largest drop in enrollment in New Mexico with a projected 12% decrease, while Washington D.C. is projected to see a 14% increase over the same period.

In a survey conducted by the Public Policy Institute of California, seven percent of respondents said large class sizes was the biggest issue facing California’s K-12 schools. In the same survey, 50% of the respondents said they didn’t view the financial resources their local public school was getting as adequate.
