Enrollment trend & projection

Grade 12 went from 107 in 2021 to 81 in 2024 — over 3 years.
-24.3%

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

If the recent trend holds…

At its recent rate of -6.6%/year, projecting from 2024's 172 students:

2025

2029

A small or specialty program — naive trend math doesn't capture the school's full picture. Read the trend as directional, not predictive.

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