The school operates independently of the local school district under a charter granted by the New Jersey Department of Education.
As of the 2015-16 school year, the school had an enrollment of 339 students and 38.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student-teacher ratio of 8.9:1. There were 174 students (51.3% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 20 (5.9% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
