Its most remarkable achievement is a perfect 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I End of Course exam in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, more than double the state average of 48.1%. The school also shows strong year-over-year gains, with 8th grade social studies proficiency jumping from 41.9% to 61.0% and 8th grade math rising from 49.2% to 62.6%.
