Enrollment trend & projection
Grade 12 went from 159 in 2021 to
241 in 2024
— over 3 years.
+51.6%
Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).
If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +2.2%/year, projecting from 2024's 959 students:
2025
980
2027
1,024
2029
1,070
An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $11,689 per student in district revenue, the 111 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $1,297,479/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.
