Math is a clear strength, especially in 3rd grade, where 84% of students were proficient. The school serves a relatively affluent population, with only 20% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, and its per-student spending of $12,436 is below the state average, suggesting efficient use of resources. Science, while still a strength, shows a smaller margin of advantage over the district and state compared to reading and math.
