A special education school: students are placed here through their IEP team, so we publish its results without a rating.

Schools maintain a closed campus policy. For students’ safety, visitors may enter a campus only with the school’s official permission; this drawing implies no permission to enter.

Common questions

Life at school

How many students here graduate in four years?

20% of students graduated in four years in 2024–25.

State graduation, readiness, college-going, attendance and suspension records

The four-year rate counts regular high school diplomas only, not a certificate of completion. Ask how many students here finish with each, and what each one leads to.
