Enrollment trend & projection

73 in 2024
— over 3 years.
-14.1%
Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).
If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +1.2%/year, projecting from 2024's 790 students:
2025
800
2027
819
2029
839
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 49 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $654,934/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.
