The school's four-year graduation rate has steadily improved, reaching 94.4% in the 2023-2024 school year, higher than the district and state averages, and its dropout rate has decreased to 0.0%. The school serves a diverse student population, with a high percentage of African American and Hispanic students, as well as a significant population of English Language Learners and students with special needs, all of whom perform well compared to their peers.
