Enrollment trend & projection
Grade 12 went from 372 in 2021 to
460 in 2024
— over 3 years.
+23.7%
Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).
If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +5.9%/year, projecting from 2024's 2,304 students:
2025
2,440
2027
2,736
2029
3,069
An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $12,845 per student in district revenue, the 765 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $9,826,425/year in additional funding.
District total revenue ÷ enrollment, NCES F-33. Public funding largely follows enrollment, so a shrinking class is a recurring budget hit.
