It boasts an impressive 89.0% four-year graduation rate and a low 2.4% dropout rate. While the schools' mathematics proficiency lags behind state averages, their strong performance in English Language Arts suggests a potential area of focus for the district. Additionally, the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, especially at the elementary school, indicate the need to consider the impact of socioeconomic factors on student success and provide appropriate support.
