Its Resource Investment Index trails 98% of the 9,998 California schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 345 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need California schools statewide, it ranks #337, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is led by African American (62%) and Hispanic or Latino (22%) (diversity index 56/100).
Counselor access is stretched at roughly 849 students per counselor, well above the ASCA-recommended 250:1 ceiling.
