School Enrollment Projections

The Maryland Department of Planning has completed the Public School Enrollment Projections for 2026 – 2035. The tables below provide information on historical 2025 and projected 2026 – 2035 enrollments for the state, as well as for each of Maryland’s 24 jurisdictions (23 counties and Baltimore City). The public-school enrollment projections utilize MDP’s population projections by age and sex for each jurisdiction. The population projections are used to derive the school-age population (persons 5-17 years of age) and projected births. These projections are then used in conjunction with a “grade succession” methodology to derive the ten-year, grade-specific enrollment projections. A Public School Enrollment Projections Report is in development and will be published to this webpage upon completion (late August 2026).
