Enrollment trend & projection

If the recent trend holds…

2027
165
2029
214
An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $11,999 per student in district revenue, the 102 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $1,223,898/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.
