Additionally, a specific cohort of students has consistently excelled in math: the group that scored 60.34% in 4th grade math (14.55 points above the state average) went on to score 58.18% in 5th grade math (10.8 points above the state average) the following year.

The school also serves a predominantly low-income population, with 62.66% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.6:1 and spending of $10,651 per student, the school has the resources to build on its successes in science and math while focusing on improving reading outcomes across all grade levels.
