Those results exceeded state rates by 22 and 30 percentage points, and district rates by 11 and 14 points, respectively. Among six nearby schools serving grades 1–5 with all-grade results, North ranked third in both subjects; only Copeland Manor Elementary School and Country Meadows Elementary School scored higher.

The school’s chronic absenteeism rate also improved to 12% in 2025–26, below the district’s 13% and state’s 24%, though some nearby schools had lower rates.
