Bunker Hill High School is both the highest- and lowest-performing school in this group because it is the only one, so there is no meaningful school-to-school ranking. Within its results, grade 9 ELA stands out at 73% proficient versus 62% statewide, a 12-point advantage. Grade 9 math was 4 points below the state, while science was essentially level. The clearest challenges are grade 11: ELA proficiency was 41% versus 50% statewide, and science was 38% versus 48%, gaps of 9 and 10 points. Grade 10 ELA was also 9 points below the state, at 44% versus 54%.
Grade 9 results improved sharply year over year: proficiency rose 26 points in ELA, 22 in math, and 22 in science. The state gaps shifted from 16 points below to 12 above in ELA, from 22 below to 4 below in math, and from 25 below to essentially level in science. By contrast, grade 11 gaps widened in both reported subjects, while grade 10 ELA’s gap was nearly unchanged.
