EDFacts assessment data puts 55% of students at or above grade level in combined math and reading, a little above the national midpoint where roughly half of tested students clear the bar.

The student-teacher ratio is 29.0 to 1, near the high end of the national distribution; NCES counts every certified teacher, so this figure includes specialists as well as classroom staff. It operates as a charter school — publicly funded and tuition-free, under an authorizer-issued charter.
