Grade-level leaders vary: in grade 8, Community leads English, Juve leads math, and Special Education leads science; Special Education also leads grade 11 math. Community reports the highest graduation rate, 57%, while Juve has the lowest chronic absenteeism, 5%; all three dropout rates, 30% to 36%, exceed the 8% state figure.

SchoolDigger gives the district a rank of 906 out of 968, at the 6th percentile, with 0 stars; this is a district rating, not a separate rating for each school. The schools also differ in size and student-teacher ratios: Special Education has 1,860 students and a ratio of 11.3, Community has 394 and a ratio of 14.6, and Juve has 113 and a ratio of 16.2. For 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 75% at Special Education, 90% at Community, and 97% at Juve. Juve’s small enrollment is worth keeping in mind when comparing percentages.
