While the school has a respectable 84.3% four-year graduation rate and a relatively low 4.5% dropout rate, it faces significant challenges.

Despite the higher per-student spending of $16,434 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.8, the school's academic outcomes are still lagging behind the state averages, indicating that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population.
