Enrollment trend & projection
Grade 12 went from 700 in 2021 to
664 in 2024
— over 3 years.
-5.1%
Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).
If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +0.6%/year, projecting from 2024's 2,876 students:
2025
2,892
2027
2,925
2029
2,958
An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $21,825 per student in district revenue, the 82 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $1,789,650/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.
