Students perform above the state average in English Language Arts (47.8% proficient vs. 39.4% statewide), Reading (51.4% vs. 40.4%), and Biology (45.8% vs. 42.7%). However, there is a significant weakness in Geometry, where only 10.4% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 26.4%. This is a stark contrast to the district's overall Geometry proficiency of 31.5%, suggesting that Farmington High School is a specific area of concern for math performance. While the school is on a clear upward trend in its overall ranking and excels in literacy subjects, parents should be aware of this notable gap in math achievement.
