Enrollment trend & projection

Grade 12 went from 614 in 2021 to 608 in 2024 — over 3 years.
-1.0%

Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).

If the recent trend holds…

At its recent rate of -2.4%/year, projecting from 2024's 2,729 students:

2025
2,663
2027
2,535
2029
2,413

≈ 316 fewer students by 2029 — a real revenue/relevance risk worth getting ahead of.

An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.

Revenue at risk

At $13,316 per student in district revenue, the 316 students projected to be lost by 2029 represent ≈ $4,207,856/year in funding at risk.

District total revenue ÷ enrollment, NCES F-33. Public funding largely follows enrollment, so a shrinking class is a recurring budget hit.
