Enrollment trend & projection

2025
299
2027
300
2029

An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $17,411 per student in district revenue, the 3 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $52,233/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.
