While the school has a predominantly white student population, it faces challenges with below-average test scores and a graduation rate that lags behind the state average, despite spending more per student and maintaining a relatively low student-teacher ratio.

Mid Peninsula School's racial demographics skew heavily towards white students, with 92.15% of the population identifying as such. The school has a small percentage of African American (3.14%) and Native American (2.09%) students, but no Hispanic or Asian students are reported. Academically, the school's test scores fall short of state averages across various subjects and grade levels, though there are some exceptions, such as 11th-grade science where the school outperforms the state. The school's four-year graduation rate of 81.8% is below the state average, but it maintains a 0.0% dropout rate, indicating that students who do not graduate within four years either transfer or continue their education.

Despite the academic challenges, Mid Peninsula School District allocates a relatively high amount of resources to the school, spending $15,104 per student, which is higher than the state average. The school also maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 13.1, suggesting a focus on smaller class sizes. However, the school's high percentage of students (74.87%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates a low-income student population, which may contribute to the academic performance challenges.
