Enrollment trend & projection

94 in 2024
— over 2 years.
+13.3%
Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).
If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +7.4%/year, projecting from 2024's 688 students:
2025
739
2027
853
2029
985
An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $10,545 per student in district revenue, the 297 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $3,131,865/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.
