Enrollment trend & projection
Grade 12 went from 249 in 2021 to
255 in 2024
— over 3 years.
+2.4%
Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).
If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +1.1%/year, projecting from 2024's 1,375 students:
2025
1,390
2027
1,420
2029
1,452
An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $14,839 per student in district revenue, the 77 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $1,142,603/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.
