Enrollment trend & projection

68 in 2024
— over 3 years.
-18.1%
Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).
If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +0.7%/year, projecting from 2024's 297 students:
2025
299
2027
303
2029
307
An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $13,611 per student in district revenue, the 10 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $136,110/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.
