— over 3 years.
+15.6%

If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +2.5%/year, projecting from 2024's 317 students:

2027
342
2029
359

Revenue upside
At $14,891 per student in district revenue, the 42 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $625,422/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.
