Because Lafayette is the only school in this ZIP-code list, there is no local top-to-bottom comparison. SchoolDigger ranked it 3rd of 124 schools statewide in 2025–26, at the 98th percentile, and awarded it 5 stars. Lafayette had 80% proficiency in ELA, compared with 44% districtwide and 40% statewide; in math, it had 85%, versus 33% districtwide and 28% statewide. Those results put Lafayette 36 points above the district in ELA and 52 points above it in math. Its science result was also strong: in 2024–25, grade 5 proficiency was 61%, compared with 24% districtwide and 20% statewide.
Results stayed high from 2024–25 to 2025–26, though state results rose and Lafayette’s state-relative leads narrowed slightly. Lafayette’s ELA score changed by about 0 points and its math score rose by 1 point; statewide scores rose by 2 points in each subject. Within the school, grade 3 was the lowest reported grade in ELA, at 70%, while grades 4 and 5 scored 87% and 84%; math rose from 81% in grade 3 to 89% in grade 5. For context, the 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 14.6, and 3% of students were directly certified for free meals in 2024–25. These measures describe the school but, with no other schools in the list, cannot be compared with results across local schools.
