RSP & Associates told the Linn‑Mar Comm School District board that district enrollment peaked near 7,800 in 2021 and that a combination of a roughly 10% drop in local live births and lower student yield per housing unit means the district is forecasted to have about 7,002 K–12 students in 2030–31, with uneven building‑level pressure.

A demographic presentation showed the district’s growth has moderated: more students left than entered in the most recent count, student yield varies widely across subdivisions, and 10‑year projections now center around 2–3% annual growth rather than the 4–5% previously forecast during bond planning.
