Its Resource Investment Index lands in the upper third of 308 scored Rhode Island schools.
Among 47 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Rhode Island schools statewide, it ranks #4, a top-tier result once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is predominantly Hispanic or Latino (93% of enrollment), among the less diverse in the state (diversity index 14/100).

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