In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (48.7%) and Mathematics (40.3%) were below the district (59.8% and 43.9%) and state (53.1% and 38.5%) averages. The school's performance is particularly weak in Mathematics, and its subgroups, such as Asian students and students with disabilities, also rank significantly lower compared to their peers in the state.
