Harrell,
Unfortunately, that is not the correct calculation.
The current enrollment as a fraction of the previous enrollment is 5095/5815 = (approx) 0.876.
To compute the percentage (that is the number per hundred), you have to multiply by 100.
100 * 0.876 is 87.6%. So the current enrollment is 87.6% of the old enrollment.
87.6% - 100% = -12.4%. Current enrollment is 12.4% less than the previous year's enrollment.
