Enrollment trend & projection
Grade 12 went from 453 in 2022 to
606 in 2024
— over 2 years.
+33.8%
Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).
If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +13.0%/year, projecting from 2024's 2,300 students:
2025
2,600
2027
3,321
2029

An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $13,069 per student in district revenue, the 1,942 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $25,379,998/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.
