Students enrolled in each grade each fall, stacked to the total — so the top edge is total enrollment. Bands run from the lowest grade (light) to the highest (dark); a band that appears or disappears is a grade the school added or dropped. “Other” is students with no grade level (mostly special education), so the bands always sum to total.

How much the mix changed

Between 2017-18 and 2021-22 the makeup of this school shifted noticeably.

Black +8.1·Hispanic −8.1
