2029
461

Revenue upside
At $13,254 per student in district revenue, the 53 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $702,462/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.
