The students are primarily African-American students in a 9th grade Intensive Reading class. They are all from a low socio-economic background and are currently identified as the lowest 25% in their graduating class.

It is also working towards increasing the number of students who are taking Advanced Placement and dual-enrolled college courses. Currently it has a high school graduation rate of 98%.
