Enrollment trend & projection

Grade 12 went from 214 in 2021 to 227 in 2024 — over 3 years.
+6.1%

Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).

If the recent trend holds…

At its recent rate of -0.9%/year, projecting from 2024's 1,039 students:

2025
1,029
2027
1,010
2029
991

≈ 48 fewer students by 2029 — a real revenue/relevance risk worth getting ahead of.

An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.

Revenue at risk

At $14,839 per student in district revenue, the 48 students projected to be lost by 2029 represent ≈ $712,272/year in funding at risk.

District total revenue ÷ enrollment, NCES F-33. Public funding largely follows enrollment, so a shrinking class is a recurring budget hit.
