The school's proficiency on state assessments and Regents exams is generally on par with or slightly above the state and district averages, particularly in subjects like Common Core Algebra II, Common Core English Language Arts, and Global History and Geography.

The school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio suggest it has access to significant resources, which may contribute to its overall performance.
