The chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% in 2023-2024 is a concern that may impact student engagement. Additionally, 4th-grade proficiency in Math (55.38%) and English Language Arts (50.77%) is slightly below the district average, and 5th-grade Math proficiency (48.21%) is notably lower than both district and state averages. Addressing these specific grade levels and subjects could further enhance the school's already impressive academic standing.
