The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Preschool enrollment fell 20.7 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 63.2% to 42.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±14.7pp). That is movement in the wrong direction.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed. Margins at this size are wide (low-reliability estimate); read the level, not the pace.
Disconnected youth changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (5.8% then, 4.5% now; margin ±5.5pp).

A real change beyond the survey margin; neither direction is inherently better for this metric.
Population rose about 1% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 58,673 to 59,156 - more than the combined survey margin (±391). The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 3 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*
