While Montmorency CCSD #145 generally has lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state averages, the school stands out for its strong performance in 3rd grade, with 65.5% of students proficient or better in ELA and an impressive 93.1% proficiency rate in Mathematics, significantly higher than the state's 47.3% and 49.6% respectively.

Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions to support economically disadvantaged students could be key focus areas for the school to improve overall academic outcomes and provide a more equitable education for all its students.
