Academy for Change had four sixth-grade students during the 2020-2021 school year, according to the California Department of Education.

Alternative Education-San Joaquin High School had the most sixth-grade students enrolled in California with 1,188.

According to the National Center for Education Services, California is expected to see public and secondary school enrollment decrease three percent from 2017-2029. The state expected to see the largest drop in enrollment is New Mexico with a projected 12 percent decrease, while Washington D.C. is expected to see a 14 percent increase over the same time 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 percent of the respondents said they did not view the financial resources their local public school was getting as adequate.
