While James Hunt High's overall performance is relatively low, the school stands out in its support for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic and English Language Learner students, who perform significantly better than their peers at the school and in the state. However, the school's ranking and rating have steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting that it may be facing challenges in maintaining or improving its academic performance.
