The school has shown a clear and consistent upward trend, moving from a low statewide ranking several years ago to a more competitive position today, now outperforming its district peers like Warren F. Frisbie Middle in most subjects. A notable strength is its effectiveness with specific student groups, such as African American and homeless students, who perform well above the school's overall average.
