This school has a student population of 210, with a predominantly white student body and a significant percentage (56.19%) of economically disadvantaged students.

The school's performance on ILEARN/Biology End of Course assessments is better than the state average, but the overall decline in statewide ranking indicates the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to address the underlying factors contributing to this trend.
