While the schools have a predominantly white student population, there is some racial and ethnic diversity, especially at the elementary and high school levels.

However, the data also highlights areas for potential improvement, such as addressing high chronic absenteeism rates and supporting the needs of the socioeconomically disadvantaged students at the elementary school.
