Do you have any source for this? Either for the notion that a vast majority of schools once used Scratch, or for the fact that many of those schools have moved away from it?
All I know is because of covid-19 number of users increased which causes issues
Since a significant part of scratch's userbase are students, wouldn't that mean there are more schools using scratch?

Nope, those students are using Scratch for games and not coding

Yes, but they're still using scratch. It could possibly result in scratch being banned in some districts, but since most people use it at home on school computers likely outside school time I doubt it. Besides, we don't have an actual statistic of districts that block scratch, and anyway, as Cheddargirl said, people often also use the 3.0 offline editor, which counts as using scratch.

It concerns the amount of people using scratch, so it is a valid question about scratch.

I work in the UK with a number of schools.
Unfortunately, too many are reporting issues of pupils finding inappropriate content within the scratch environment.
For example Huggy Wuggy games https://scratch.mit.edu/search/projects?q=huggy%20wuggy
This is leading to a trend across the UK, where schools are being advised to stop using the online version of scratch and use the downloaded programme, CS first or some are migrating to other platforms.

This is a shame but Scratch need to look at moderating the content better for younger pupils.

Scratch does attempt to moderate all content, but it can’t see every project. In order for them to review it, you need to report it. Additionally, those games are most likely appropriate, they don’t look bad.
