Enrollment trend & projection
Grade 12 went from 183 in 2021 to
220 in 2024
— over 3 years.
+20.2%
Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).
If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +5.7%/year, projecting from 2024's 940 students:
2025
993
2027
1,109
2029
1,238
An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $13,778 per student in district revenue, the 298 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $4,105,844/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.
