Enrollment trend & projection
Grade 12 went from 51 in 2021 to
70 in 2024
— over 3 years.
+37.3%
Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).
If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +3.1%/year, projecting from 2024's 277 students:
2025
285
2027
303
2029
322
An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $15,357 per student in district revenue, the 45 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $691,065/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.
