Our large student population of nearly 3,000 students is extremely diverse. We have students from many nationalities but our three biggest subgroups are Latino (58%), White (23%) and African American (14%). Many of our students are living in poverty and 57% are classified as socioeconomically disadvantaged. Over 20% of our students are English learners. This school is packed with a rich history, and hard working students.
