Enrollment trend & projection
Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).
If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +8.3%/year, projecting from 2024's 169 students:
2025
183
2027
215
2029
252
An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $14,955 per student in district revenue, the 83 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $1,241,265/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.
