The Best of Month 1 or 2 ADM is the metric used by the <br /> state for funding, budgeting, and planning purposes, and Month 2 ADM serves as the basis for all projections in this <br /> report. <br /> Statewide enrollment and ADM have been on a slow downward trend over the past decade. This decline sped up <br /> slightly over the last year as we can see in the chart below. ADM in month 2 at the state level went from 1,368,531 in <br /> School Year 2024-25 to 1,345,074 in School Year 2025-26. This is a decrease of over 23,000 students or just about <br /> 1.7%. <br /> CAROL I N A UP TJNC CAROLINA _ Demographic 6 <br /> DEMOGR _ PHYPOPULATION CENTER Analytics Advisors <br /> a <br />
