The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 1965.
As of the 2014-15 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,045 students and 90.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.6:1. There were 15 students (1.4% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 4 (0.4% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
