In 2008, 77% of the school's seniors received their high school diploma. Of 173 students, 133 graduated, 17 dropped out, 4 received a modified diploma, and 19 were still in high school the next year.[8][9]

The school's teams are known as the "Cheesemakers" after the local Tillamook Cheese Factory.
