Graduation and enrollment rate is not going up but down in last three years since it has been a magnet school (except for the one year (2005-2006) where it has to be wrong unless they attracted a bunch of new students in 10th grade and immediately lost them the next year which is not likely. So their themes are evidently not holding the student's interest. See below.
2006-2007 Enrollment by District and Grade - Texarkana
