Between 2006 and 2011 the number of kindergarten students who were vulnerable on at least one aspect of their development decreased in three of the seven school districts in the region (Revelstoke, Southeast Kootenay, and Kootenay-Columbia). This trend countered the provincial upward trend in vulnerability. Currently, all seven school districts in the region have a lower percentage of vulnerable kindergarten students than the provincial average (31%), including Revelstoke (10%), Arrow Lakes (23%), Kootenay Lake (24%), Rocky Mountain (27%), Southeast Kootenay (28%), and Boundary (29%).
