Science proficiency was 26%, 10 points below the state and 12 below the district; only one nearby school scored lower. Results also vary sharply by grade. Fourth grade was a relative strength: math proficiency was 50%, 8 points above the state, and ELA was 46%, about 1 point above. Fifth grade was weakest: ELA was 31%, below every nearby peer, and math was 19.8%, just below Romoland Elementary at 20.2%.
