There are about 250 to 350 students on campus, and there is one teacher for every 22 students. The school is part of the California Montessori Project network and follows a Montessori-based teaching style that focuses on hands-on learning, classrooms with students of different ages, individualized pacing, and character development. It also meets California state academic standards. The student body is moderately diverse, with an estimated 30–40% of students being Hispanic, Asian, or multiracial. About 57% of students are good at math, and about 69% are good at English Language Arts. These scores put the campus close to or slightly above the state average in ELA and closer to the state average in math. California public charter schools usually get between $10,000 and $13,000 per student each year, which is the same amount of money that these schools get.
