The school has about 1,130 students and about 23–24 students for every teacher, which is a little higher than the state average.

The school also has a full-day preschool program and things for kids to do after school to keep them interested. There are a lot of different kinds of students, but most of them are Hispanic, Asian, Black, White, or mixed race. Many students can get meals for free or very little money. There are still chances for students to do better in school because only 25–30% of them are good at math and 35–38% are good at English Language Arts (ELA). The amount of money spent on each student is the same as the amount of money the state and district give.
