This school consistently earns a 4-star rating and ranks in the 81st percentile statewide, with proficiency rates in most subjects that are 10-20 percentage points higher than the district average. One of its standout features is its PK-8 grade configuration, which provides a stable learning environment through middle school and allows students to excel in advanced coursework—100% of students were proficient in Algebra 1 and 90% in Geometry, far outpacing district peers.
