Their all-grades ELA results are nearly tied, just 0.2 points apart. High School’s strongest reported result against its state benchmark is ninth-grade PreACT science, 56% versus 47%, a 9-point advantage; its largest reported shortfall is tenth-grade PreACT ELA, 43% versus 54%, or 11 points below. In science, Junior High eighth graders are 1 point above the state, while Elementary fifth graders are 8 points below—a grade-specific contrast, not a direct school-wide comparison.
