The Sumner Attendance Center has relatively strong performance in English Language Arts, with over 60% of students meeting or exceeding proficiency standards in both the 2024-2025 and 2023-2024 school years, outpacing the state average. However, the school struggles in math and science, with proficiency rates significantly lower than the state averages.
