RICHLAND COLLEGIATE H S OF MATH SCIENCE ENGINEERIN
Enrollment trend & projection
Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).
If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of -26.8%/year, projecting from 2024's 132 students:
≈ 104 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 $9,622 per student in district revenue, the 104 students projected to be lost by 2029 represent ≈ $1,000,688/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.
