- The school received attention when it became the first suburban High School in the nation to adopt the experimental Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's Small Schools project. To comply, in September 2003 the school reorganized under five "small schools," each with a different emphasis: the Terrace Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Discovery School, the Innovation School, the Renaissance School and the Achievement, Opportunitiy and Scholarship School. The school received a $833,000 grant in return for their participation. The effort has been met with mixed reactions. Students must stay in a school until their Junior year, or file a petition with an Administrator to transfer. Due to funding issues, the small schools program has been discontinued as of the 2008-2009 school year.

The High School offers engineering and robotics classes that offer college and university level credit if an AP exam is taken. Approximately 100 students are enrolled in this program.
- In 2006, 85% of students passed the Reading portion of the WASL exam, 84% passed the Writing portion, 56% passed the Math portion, and 38% passed the Science portion. Only 50% passed all three portions of the exam, which was actually a dramatic 11 point improvement from 2005. About 69% of students graduate on time.
