A higher count means more students at this school are entering the college admissions pipeline.

Enrollment trend & projection

Grade 12 went from 293 in 2021 to 232 in 2024 — over 3 years.
-20.8%

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

If the recent trend holds…

At its recent rate of -2.0%/year, projecting from 2024's 395 students:

2025
387
2027
371
2029
356

≈ 39 fewer students by 2029 — a real revenue/relevance risk worth getting ahead of.

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

Revenue at risk

At $14,074 per student in district revenue, the 39 students projected to be lost by 2029 represent ≈ $548,886/year in funding at risk.

District total revenue ÷ enrollment, NCES F-33. Public funding largely follows enrollment, so a shrinking class is a recurring budget hit.
