Despite the school's high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance lags behind the state averages. The school's ranking and rating from SchoolDigger have fluctuated in recent years, with a higher 3-star rating in the 2020-2021 school year. This suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions or strategies to improve student learning outcomes and address the lack of racial diversity within the student population.
