Class loads run heavy: 36:1 is larger than about 98% of Washington schools and 105% above the 17.6:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.

Its free-meal eligibility rate of 42.6% lands close to the Washington typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.

Its Resource Investment Index trails 99% of the 2,394 Washington schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.

Its student body is predominantly White (81% of enrollment) (diversity index 33/100).

Its district draws 15.5% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
