Enrollment trend & projection

2027

2029

An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $16,333 per student in district revenue, the 14 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $228,662/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.
