Enrollment trend & projection

Grade 12 went from 248 in 2021 to 188 in 2024 — over 3 years.
-24.2%

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

If the recent trend holds…

At its recent rate of -2.2%/year, projecting from 2024's 855 students:

2025
836
2027
801
2029
766

≈ 89 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 89 students projected to be lost by 2029 represent ≈ $1,185,124/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.
