Enrollment trend & projection
Total enrollment went from 450 in 2021 to
681 in 2024
— over 3 years.
+51.3%
Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).
If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +14.8%/year, projecting from 2024's 681 students:
2025
782
2027
1,031
2029
1,358
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 677 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $9,048,782/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.
