The school has shown impressive improvement, moving from a 2-star to a 3-star rating in the past year. Notably, its students excel in science, with proficiency rates far above average, and the school maintains a lower rate of chronic student absenteeism than surrounding areas, which is a strong indicator of a positive school environment.
