The number of students in 2022 is 94 and in 2023 is 90. The decrease is $94 - 90=4$. The rate of decrease is $\frac{4}{94}\approx0.0426$.

Step2: Calculate rate of decrease for 2024 - 2025

The number of students in 2024 is 87 and in 2025 is 86. The decrease is $87 - 86 = 1$. The rate of decrease is $\frac{1}{87}\approx0.0115$.

Step3: Compare the rates

Since $0.0426>0.0115$, the rate of decrease is greater between 2022 and 2023.
