The 2022/2023 academic year saw over 700 students enrolled. The school is home to the largest Indigenous student body in the Grand Erie School District, at 29% or 260 students as of 2018/19. Most of these students come from the nearby Six Nations of the Grand River.[2] Due to the large number of Indigenous students attending the school, classes such as Cayuga language, native history, and native arts are offered.
