According to Soto’s presentation, Harlandale ISD saw small gains in enrollment from 2013 to 2015, when it had about 15,000 students. But enrollment has dropped in the years since, to 12,096 this school year, and a study by the district concluded that it could lose an additional 3,100 students by 2031.
