111 in 2024
— over 3 years.
+27.6%

If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +1.5%/year, projecting from 2024's 462 students:
2025
469
2027
483
2029
497
An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $14,395 per student in district revenue, the 35 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $503,825/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.
