By headcount it is one of the larger campuses in Massachusetts, bigger than 91% of state schools at 938 students.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 98% of the 1,831 Massachusetts schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Its student body is led by African American (54%) and Hispanic or Latino (41%) (diversity index 53/100).

Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 38.5% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 15.8% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
