  • This is a contracting district: 485 students in FY2019 down to 412 in FY2022, a 15.1% decline. Enrolment drives most state funding formulas, so the finance figures below describe a budget under downward pressure rather than a steady state.

  • Its per-pupil spending of $46,615 is among the highest in the nation.
