Ninth Grade Bubble Drives ECISD Retention Drop
ECISD faces a steady exodus as over 1,000 students left the district this year for various reasons. The trend begins around junior high with a “ninth grade bubble” and continues through high school, shrinking from about 2,000 at elementary to 800 by senior year. District officials note aging out and moves to private schools or other districts contribute to the loss, while the oil boom brings new students but not enough to offset departures.
