Enrollment trend & projection
Grade 12 went from 392 in 2023 to

Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).
If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +30.6%/year, projecting from 2024's 1,844 students:
2025

2027

An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $11,681 per student in district revenue, the 5,159 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $60,262,279/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.
