Class sizes run a bit leaner than typical: 20.2:1 puts it in the smaller third of California schools by student-teacher ratio.

Economic need is high: 85.3% of students qualify for free meals, 54% above the California average, a Title I-weighted population that federal funding formulas prioritise.

With 383 students, its enrollment sits close to the California median campus size.

Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 9,998 scored California schools.

Among 1,522 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need California schools statewide, it ranks #1,232, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.

Its student body is predominantly Hispanic or Latino (94% of enrollment), among the less diverse in the state (diversity index 12/100).

Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 36.6% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).

Its district draws 20.7% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
