Enrollment trend & projection
Grade 12 went from 106 in 2021 to
110 in 2024
— over 3 years.
+3.8%
Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).
If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +2.3%/year, projecting from 2024's 524 students:
2025
536
2027
562
2029
588
An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $13,127 per student in district revenue, the 64 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $840,128/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.
