Figures are included for schools with religious affiliations and for independent private schools. The total non-public school enrollment in Delaware in September 1990 was 22,353. Eighty-eight percent of these students were residents of Delaware; this total represents a 1.5% increase over the September 1989 total. Statewide, the 1990 resident student non-public enrollment was 16.5% of the combined public and resident non-public school enrollment in the state. Since September 1989, nine new non-public schools opened in Delaware, two Catholic schools were combined into one school, and two non-public schools closed. The largest enrollment figures were for diocesan Catholic schools. Three appendices provide additional tables of data concerning non-public school openings/closings for 1989-90, non-public schools by district for 1990-91, and a directory of non-public schools in Delaware for 1990-91.
