Ranked by percentage-point change in this group's share of enrollment. Schools need at least 100 students in both 2013 and 2023 to be ranked — without a floor the list fills with tiny schools swinging on a handful of children. A share can also rise because a school shrank around the group, which is what the Pts/yr (trend across all years) and Students (headcount gained or lost) columns are there to expose. Enrollment counts come from the federal Common Core of Data via the Urban Institute; “Black” is that source's category.
