Grade-level results add a useful exception: Lanai leads in ELA in grades 3 and 4, but Hesby leads fifth-grade ELA, 80% to 76%. Lanai leads in math in each shared grade, though the fifth-grade difference is just 2 points. Since the schools serve different grade spans, their all-grades comparisons reflect different grade mixes.

Compared with 2024–2025, the schools’ average ELA and math results dipped, while science improved: ELA moved from 82% to 77%, math from 75% to 74%, and science from 64% to 66%; their advantages over the state narrowed in all three subjects.
