  • CUSD Enrollment Decline Outpaces Demographics

    We are often told that CUSD is closing schools because enrollment is declining. How much of that is true?

    Lets dig in to the data:

    1. Child Population in CUSD (and neighboring districts)

    2. School Enrollment in CUSD (and neighboring districts)

    CUSD Enrollment Drop far Outpaces Demographic

    Note that the drop in CUSD enrollment far exceeds the slight drop in the number of school going children. That is because many parents are frustrated with the school board policies, including those which have led to some of the most overcrowded schools in the region.

    The percentage of CUSD school children going to private schools has grown 3x over the past 10 years. 

    We need to fix our public schools, and not make matters worse by closing more of them.

  • Welcome to Cupertino Facts

    This blog is an effort by Cupertino residents to inform our neighbors about various issues which impact the quality of our lives.

    Over the past few decades, decisions about Cupertino’s future have focussed on supporting the goals of deep pocketed special interests, while ignoring the wishes and the interests of the residents.

    This led to a strong push-back over the past few years, as a broader group of residents became aware of the risks they faced. 

    The response to the  residents getting engaged, is a campaign of misinformation by the special interests, designed to sow FUD (Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt) in the minds of the average Cupertino resident.

    We do not have the money power to compete against the special interests; however we do have the will to challenge their misinformation, and empower our neighbors to make informed decisions.

    Please help spread the word by sharing our posts!
