The dropout rate is 6.1%, above the state’s 4.2%. The school serves 276 students in grades 7–12, with a 28.62% free/reduced lunch rate and a 13.8 student-teacher ratio. Overall, families should see a school with strong 10th-grade reading and above-state graduation, but with low current science proficiency, below-state math, and a dropout rate above the state average.
