Performance
The high school is accredited by Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Over forty percent of the student population is classified as "Academic Achievers," who achieve at high levels, attend school regularly, and exhibit exemplary behavior. There was once a program for the Academic Achievers, but that program has since been done away with. In 2006-2007 students took Advanced Placement (AP) examinations in 11 of the 37 course areas. As of the 2017–2018 school year, however, there are only 4 AP course available to the student. To some degree this is because of the administration encouraging dual credit college classes over AP.
