We estimate effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on self-reported school enrollment using a sample of 16-to-18-year-old youth from the January 2010 to the December 2020 Current Population Survey (CPS). The pandemic reduced the likelihood of students reporting that they were enrolled in high school by about 1.8 percentage points in April 2020 vs. in the same month in prior years, although enrollment rebounded back to typical levels by October 2020. Adverse effects on school enrollment were magnified for older vs. younger students, males vs. females, and among adolescents without a college-educated household member vs. adolescents from more educated households. Greater school responsiveness to the pandemic and high school graduation exit exams appear to have protected students from disengaging from school.
我们利用2010年1月至2020年12月当前人口调查（CPS）中16至18岁青少年的样本，估计了新冠疫情对自我报告的入学情况的影响。与往年同月相比，2020年4月疫情使报告自己就读高中的学生比例降低了约1.8个百分点，不过到2020年10月入学率回升至正常水平。对大龄学生与低龄学生、男性与女性以及没有受过大学教育家庭成员的青少年与来自受教育程度更高家庭的青少年而言，疫情对入学的不利影响更大。学校对疫情的更强响应能力以及高中毕业证书考试似乎使学生避免了脱离学校。
