Among 2,196 high schools in California with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 414.5 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 36th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 18.6:1, close to the California median of 19.2:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are Hispanic or Latino (88.4%) and White (5.2%). English learners represent 30.4% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 3.6%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
