Governance rests with an elected Board of Education, and the district is not privately owned or traded. Performance indicators include a 91.5% graduation rate, 3.5-star ODE rating (2023-24), 21 Superior State Choir Ratings, 14 State Championships, and over $85,000 in annual college scholarship disbursements.
