Enrollment trend & projection

106 in 2024
— over 3 years.
+41.3%

If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +0.9%/year, projecting from 2024's 758 students:
2025
765
2027
780
2029
794
An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $13,366 per student in district revenue, the 36 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $481,176/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.
