The most recent published collection is 2021–22; NCES targeted spring 2026 for the 2023–24 release — we'll load it as soon as it's published.
If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +0.2%/year, projecting from 2022's 547 students:
An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
