The graduation rate is 87.3%, below the state average of 90.1%. The school's state ranking has been volatile, earning a 2-star rating in 2023-2024 and 2025-2026, but dropping to a 1-star rating in 2024-2025.
A notable bright spot is 10th-grade Reading, where 39.8% of students are proficient, essentially matching the state average of 39.0%. This suggests a potential strength in developing reading skills by sophomore year. However, the school faces a clear challenge: despite high per-student spending, translating that investment into consistent academic gains has been difficult. The 100% free lunch rate highlights the economic hurdles the community faces, making the school's near-average reading performance a promising area for further growth.
