Enrollment trend & projection
Grade 12 went from 598 in 2021 to
562 in 2024
— over 3 years.
-6.0%
Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).
If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +0.3%/year, projecting from 2024's 2,589 students:
2025
2,596
2027
2,610
2029
2,624
An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $11,136 per student in district revenue, the 35 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $389,760/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.
