Enrollment trend & projection
Grade 12 went from 641 in 2021 to
767 in 2024
— over 3 years.
+19.7%
Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).
If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +0.3%/year, projecting from 2024's 2,968 students:
2025
2,976
2027
2,993
2029
3,010
An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $13,316 per student in district revenue, the 42 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $559,272/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.
