If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +7.7%/year, projecting from 2024's 968 students:
2025
1,043
2027
1,211
2029

An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $15,996 per student in district revenue, the 437 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $6,990,252/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.
