If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +0.8%/year, projecting from 2024's 3,252 students:
2025
3,278
2027
3,331
2029

An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $13,037 per student in district revenue, the 133 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $1,733,921/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.
