In 2025–26, their average math score was 39%, about 1 point above the state, while average ELA was 4 points below and science was 5 points below.

Grade 4 was a relative strength across the schools, averaging 8 points above the state in ELA and 7 above in math, while every school fell below the state in both grade 5 subjects.
