Compared with last year, more high schools failed to fill their enrollment capacity this year. Is it because of the declining youth population? Or are students moving away from public high schools?
県立西宮高校 has a small capacity, so it also seems likely that many people deliberately avoided applying there.
Looking at this year and last year, 鳴尾高校, 市立西宮東高校, and 県立西宮高校 all have relatively high competition rates, so it may be fair to say they are popular high schools in Nishinomiya.
