About 1000 students are enrolled, and more than the half of them are female.

The school motto is "Independence and Autonomy" ("自主・自律"). Students are expected to discipline themselves. Therefore, there has not been any school rule about students' clothes and hairstyles even though most of Japanese schools set such rules.

The school song was composed by Yasuhiko Murachi.

It is famous for sending many students into university. The percentage of the students going on to university was 58.4% in 2004; and it was the fourth highest in Shiga.[1]
