Enrollment trend & projection

Grade 12 went from 471 in 2021 to 447 in 2024 — over 3 years.
-5.1%

Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).

If the recent trend holds…

At its recent rate of -3.8%/year, projecting from 2024's 1,612 students:

2025
1,551
2027
1,436
2029
1,330

≈ 282 fewer students by 2029 — a real revenue/relevance risk worth getting ahead of.

An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.

Revenue at risk

At $11,307 per student in district revenue, the 282 students projected to be lost by 2029 represent ≈ $3,188,574/year in funding at risk.

District total revenue ÷ enrollment, NCES F-33. Public funding largely follows enrollment, so a shrinking class is a recurring budget hit.
