The school's clearest strengths are English/reading, biology, and attendance. SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing was 67.86% in 2025–2026, versus 58.02% in the district and 51.9% statewide, and was even higher in 2024–2025 at 72.58%, versus 62.88% in the district and 54.5% statewide. ILEARN ELA All Grades was 56.57% against the district's 35.61%. Biology End-of-Course was 55.88% in 2025–2026, versus 30.84% in the district, and rose from 53.06% the prior year. Chronic absenteeism was 15.2%, better than the district's 17.6% and the state's 16.7%. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 92.1%, above the state's 89.7% but below the district's 97.0%. The student-teacher ratio is 11.6, 28.48% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and per-student spending was $15,275 in 2023–2024.
Math is more mixed, and SAT math is the clearest concern. ILEARN Math All Grades was 45.45% in 2025–2026, still above the district's 40.25% but down sharply from 56.96%. SAT Math fell from 27.42% to 17.86%, below both the district's 18.32% and the state's 25.6%. Grade 7 math was a strength at 56.36%, well above the district's 35.81% and the state's 35.9%, while Grade 8 math was 31.82%, above the district's 24.49% but below the state's 34.2%. Most subjects declined from the prior year except biology, though with 302 students across grades 7–12, single-grade and SAT results rest on small cohorts and should be read with caution.
