It’s a number that seems to keep growing, at the expense of Lansing’s public school enrollment. Enrollment in the Lansing School District is continually declining. Over the last five years, enrollment numbers have decreased from 13,399 to 11,695 students. This means the district has experienced a total loss of 1,704 students.
