The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.9% is also slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 1.4% is relatively low. The school has a high percentage of students from low-income families, with a 101.35% free and reduced lunch rate, and the district spends $17,438 per student, which is higher than the state average.
