Enrollment trend & projection

210 in 2024
— over 3 years.
+9.4%
Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).
If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +1.5%/year, projecting from 2024's 891 students:
2025
905
2027
933
2029
962
An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $10,518 per student in district revenue, the 71 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $746,778/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.
