Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The table demonstrates the percentage of students attending four different types of secondary education institutions between 2000-2009. By years, while community schools experienced an upward trend in the proportion of those who attended their institutions during the term, others saw a drop.

Firstly, the percentage of tutees in specialist schools decreased slightly by 1% in 2005 and again by 1% in 2009. A total slight fall was 2% in 9 years in these schools. In the same period, the percentage of pupils in voluntary-controlled schools decreased by almost a third in 9 years, which was a significant decrement. There was a minor shrink in total number of students in grammar schools, just under one quarter, which is a drop by half.

On the other hand, demand for community schools increased sharply while interest in the other three types of schools declined. While the proportion of pupils was 12% in 2000, in the end of the next 9 years, it reached more than half of all students and finished the period at 58%.
