The district is rated 122 out of 374 districts, 67th percentile, 3 stars.

For parents comparing the two, the elementary school is the stronger current performer. Its chronic absenteeism is 7.5%, below the district’s 9.9% and the state’s 16.7%. In 2025–2026, ELA proficiency for all grades is 52.06% and math is 41.76%, both above the district. Its science results are especially strong, including 6th grade at 65.48% versus the state’s 41.2%. The high school stands out for its 97.1% graduation rate, far above the state’s 89.7%, and SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing is 52.63% versus the state’s 51.9%, though that is down from 63.51% in 2024–2025. SAT math is 19.3% versus the state’s 25.6%.

Math is the clearest shared concern. The high school’s all-grade math proficiency is 25.87%, below the district’s 37.06%, and the elementary school’s 5th-grade math is 19.51% versus the state’s 42%. The high school’s chronic absenteeism is 13.2%, below the state’s 16.7% but above the district’s 9.9% and nearly double the elementary school’s 7.5%. Both schools serve similar free/reduced lunch populations, 50.08% at the elementary and 48.71% at the high school. The high school also spends more per student, $13,922 versus $11,345, and has a slightly smaller student-teacher ratio, 12.7 versus 13.6. Overall, the district has a rising elementary school and a high school with a strong graduation rate but notable math and rank concerns.
