Enrollment trend & projection

51 in 2024
— over 3 years.
-3.8%
Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).
If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +14.9%/year, projecting from 2024's 347 students:
2025
399
2027
526
2029
694
An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $18,167 per student in district revenue, the 347 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $6,303,949/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.
