Of the 20 or so that we've worked with, only a couple are still umpiring. Once they get to college, they give it up etc.

Same here. For whatever reason it seems the young-teenage, "This is easy and I'd like to have some spending money" is overcome by the older-teenage "This takes up too much of my time when I could be doing something else and isn't worth it anymore."
If we can find a few that will keep at it, we consider ourselves lucky.
