Biology (End of Course) was 47.37%, the lowest reported subject, yet still above the district's 46.94% and well above the state's 37.68%. School scores closely track district scores, usually within about 1 point, which fits a district whose high-school testing is dominated by this single school.
The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 96.2%, above the district's 95.9%, with a dropout rate of 1.3% versus 1.6%. The student-teacher ratio was 14.2, and per-student spending was $16,176, though that figure covers 2020–2021 only. The free/reduced-lunch percentage is unavailable, so socioeconomic context cannot be evaluated from this data.
