Enrollment trend & projection

If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +4.4%/year, projecting from 2024's 2,297 students:
2025
2,398
2027
2,613
2029

An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $12,506 per student in district revenue, the 551 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $6,890,806/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.
