The school's performance has been relatively strong in recent years, with a 3-star rating in 2023-2024 and a 4-star rating in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school has maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 88.1% to 96.3% in the past few years, which are generally higher than the state average.

However, the school has experienced higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.8% to 20.4% in recent years, which is an area of concern.

The school's performance data also indicates that certain student subgroups, such as low socioeconomic status (SES) students, may be experiencing achievement gaps compared to their peers.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, April 2, 2020

This school is decent academically. For the last several years, we have experienced bullying. My child no longer reports it, because it is known that nothing will become of it. Sports teams would rather end a game early in a blowout than play second string players. If someone doesn't fit the mold, they will be picked on. My children all love living in this area, but they all wish to find a different school. Close Quote
