U.S. Student Population Highest Ever

According to the AP, 49.6 million students attended U.S. public and private schools in 2003. That total is nearly a million more (48.7 million) students than attended school in 1970 at the peak of school enrollment for the baby boom generation.

Honestly, the 49.6 million figure comes as a surprise to me.
