However, the school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and a low dropout rate of 4.5%.

The school's test scores are generally below the state average, with some exceptions in 5th grade ELA and 5th grade Science. Both schools serve a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with the high school at 53.85% and the elementary school at 49.77%. The district faces challenges in improving academic performance and addressing high chronic absenteeism rates across its schools.
