Enrollment trend & projection
Grade 12 went from 740 in 2021 to
802 in 2024
— over 3 years.
+8.4%
Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).
If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +2.1%/year, projecting from 2024's 3,171 students:
2025
3,237
2027
3,374
2029
3,517
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 346 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $4,510,802/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.
