School’s out. Enrollment in New York City public schools has taken a nosedive, dropping by nearly 22,000 students last year alone — in the steepest drop since the COVID pandemic, according to a new report. The sobering study, released Thursday by City Comptroller Mark Levine, shows the number of Big Apple K-12 students plummeted by a whopping 19% — or nearly 187,000 students — since the 2013-14 school year.
