Enrollment trend & projection

Grade 12 went from 722 in 2021 to 615 in 2024 — over 3 years.
-14.8%

Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).

If the recent trend holds…

At its recent rate of -3.9%/year, projecting from 2024's 2,757 students:

2025
2,651
2027
2,450
2029
2,265

≈ 492 fewer students by 2029 — a real revenue/relevance risk worth getting ahead of.

An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.

Revenue at risk

At $12,323 per student in district revenue, the 492 students projected to be lost by 2029 represent ≈ $6,062,916/year in funding at risk.

District total revenue ÷ enrollment, NCES F-33. Public funding largely follows enrollment, so a shrinking class is a recurring budget hit.
