- Framework score: 81.8, performance level Approaching Expectations, in the state’s division summary.
- Federal accountability: the profile lists Osbourn as “Identified for Targeted Support and Improvement” based on 2025-26 data, a label tied to the results of individual student groups.
- On-time graduation: 88%. Of 599 students in the 2025-26 cohort, 525 graduated on time; 188 earned an advanced diploma and 335 a standard diploma, and 64 dropped out.
