Public school enrollment losses post-pandemic cannot be fully attributed to changes in population, or shifts towards charter or private school enrollments, pointing to a rise in homeschooling among families. This trend raises questions about the motivations behind the increased interest in homeschooling. Targeted interviews reveal that these motivations have evolved since pre-pandemic times. This paper discusses the factors driving the decline in public school enrollment, highlighting that dissatisfaction with public schools after COVID-19 may have prompted families to consider alternatives such as homeschooling. However, the relationship between family satisfaction and public school enrollment has become more complex after the pandemic, suggesting that additional factors are influencing enrollment decisions in the current K-12 education landscape.
