Harrisburg public schools provide education for the city's youth, beginning with preschool through twelfth grade. According to district officials, in school year 2007–08 the Harrisburg City School District provided basic educational services to 8,391 pupils through the employment of 723 teachers, 209 full-time and part-time support personnel and 60 administrators. Enrollment steadily declined since 2005 due to a steady exodus from the city and a lower reproductive rate. A multi-year restructuring and reform plan was aimed at making the district a model, urban educational system.
