The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 335 out of 626 high schools in 2022-2023 to 437 out of 641 in 2024-2025, and is currently rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other high schools in North Carolina.

The school's graduation rate of 87.7% for the 2024-2025 school year is also slightly below the state average. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (99.25%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Understanding the underlying factors contributing to the school's declining statewide ranking and lower-than-average performance could help the district identify areas for improvement and ensure that all students have access to a quality education.
