Class loads run heavy: 26.8:1 is larger than about 89% of California schools and 25% above the 21.5:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.

Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 9,998 scored California schools.
Among 1,368 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need California schools statewide, it ranks #1,234, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is led by Hispanic or Latino (46%) and Two or More (20%), more mixed than most schools in the state (diversity index 70/100).

Attendance runs somewhat below the norm, with 20.2% of students chronically absent per the 2021-22 civil-rights collection.
Its district draws 22.6% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
