What are CAP students and why is their enrollment at Emerson declining?
CAP (Capacity Adjustment Program) students come to schools like Emerson because other L.A. neighborhoods schools have been overcrowded. CAP students will no longer be coming to Emerson in the next year or so because of expanded capacity from the recent opening of new schools in other neighborhoods. The decline in enrollment at Emerson has mainly occurred because of a decrease in CAP student enrollment. Enrollment from Westwood, Fairburn and Warner has been fairly steady over the past 3 years.
