The school has consistently ranked between 142nd and 205th out of approximately 400 Indiana high schools over the past three years, earning a stable 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. A positive aspect is its four-year graduation rate of 88.4%, indicating that most students successfully complete their high school education.

The school spends $12,431 per student with a student-to-teacher ratio of 19.4, indicating adequate resources are available, but targeted interventions may be needed to boost performance in specific academic areas.
