Enrollment trend & projection

+11.1%

If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +2.9%/year, projecting from 2024's 1,313 students:
2025
1,351
2027
1,432
2029

An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $12,589 per student in district revenue, the 204 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $2,568,156/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.
