The high school serves a regional school district comprising the city of Fall River, and the surrounding towns of Somerset, Swansea and Westport. The school has an enrollment of over 1,400 students and offers vocational-technical education in 18 different programs.[5]

The school also includes the Diman Regional School of Practical Nursing, offering post-graduate education in the field of practical nursing.[6]

Diman received national attention in January 2018, when then-United States Representative Joe Kennedy III gave the Democratic Party's response to Donald Trump’s 2018 State of the Union Address from the school’s automotive shop.[7] Massachusetts’s 4th congressional district, which Kennedy represented at the time, includes the school.
