Graduation is a clear strength: 100.0% in 2025–2026, the best among nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism was 24.5%, better than most nearby high schools but consistently above the district's 17.0%. The student-teacher ratio was 13.6 in 2024–2025, and per-student spending was $9,189 in 2018–2019 — lower than most nearby districts, which makes these results look relatively efficient.
