Source: federal Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC 2020-21). Volume — not score — is what's reported here. A higher count means more students at this school are entering the college admissions pipeline. Note: 2020-21 was COVID-disrupted; some districts (especially those that stayed remote longer) report unusually low or zero takers.

Enrollment trend & projection

Grade 12 went from 140 in 2021 to 167 in 2024 — over 3 years.
+19.3%

Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).

If the recent trend holds…

At its recent rate of +18.7%/year, projecting from 2024's 534 students:

2025
634
2027
894
2029
1,261

An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.

Revenue upside

At $12,047 per student in district revenue, the 727 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $8,758,169/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.
