Abstract	This paper provides a brief overview of key trends in enrollment, demographics, and segregation in California's schools in recent decades. Total public school enrollment has been relatively stable, and charter schools account for an increasing share of public enrollment. The Hispanic share of public enrollment has increased dramatically, and the white share declined. Increasingly, Hispanic Californian children are second and third generation Americans, and the share of students who are English Learners has remained relatively consistent. The share of Asian students has remained consistent over time but with a decline in the share of first generation and an increase in the share of second and third generation Asians. Trends in the socioeconomic conditions of California's schoolchildren are positive. Their parents are more educated and more likely to speak English well, and they are no more likely to be growing up in a single-parent household. On the other hand, overall child poverty has not declined to prerecession levels, and there are persistent and large differences in poverty across racial and ethnic groups. Black and Hispanic children are substantially more likely to both be in families with incomes below the poverty line and to attend schools with high poverty rates. This is because California's schools are fairly segregated by race. We present data and discuss these trends below. (As Provided).
