The school itself has a 3-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year. Despite 100% of its students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school consistently outperforms the state average in all tested subjects.

However, performance drops in 4th grade, particularly in English Language Arts (35.1% vs. 41.4%), suggesting a transition challenge. Another interesting trend is that while the school's test scores have improved over the past two years, its state ranking has declined from the 80th to the 69th percentile, indicating other schools are improving faster. Reading remains a clear strength, with the school's proficiency rate 10.2 percentage points above the state average.
