157 in 2024
— over 3 years.
+8.3%

If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +1.4%/year, projecting from 2024's 659 students:
2025
668
2027
686
2029
705
An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
Revenue upside
At $15,919 per student in district revenue, the 46 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $732,274/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.
