With 672 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Arizona middle schools over the past several years, receiving 0-1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, indicating poor performance.

It also has high dropout rates, ranging from 5.2% to 10% in recent years, well above the state average.
