Results improved sharply in junior-high ELA: proficiency rose from 8% in 2024–2025 to 36% in 2025–2026, and the gap with the state narrowed from 45 to 20 percentage points.

SchoolDigger’s latest supplied ranking percentiles were 9% for the junior high, 6% for the elementary school, and 21% for the senior high; these rankings are a separate measure from proficiency.

All three schools reported “All students receive free meals” (Community Eligibility) for school year 2024–2025, with no percentage provided. Some 2025–2026 school test results, including high-school results, were suppressed, so they cannot be compared.
