The elementary school has held 4 stars for three straight years and ranked 249 of 1,015 schools in 2025–2026, with particular strength in math and science: third-grade math was 66.36% proficient versus 51.9% statewide, fourth-grade math 66.67% versus 52.0%, and fourth-grade science 58.06% versus 43.8%. The middle school is the clearest improver in the area, rising from the 59th percentile and 3 stars in 2023–2024 to the 81st percentile and 4 stars in 2025–2026, with 6th-grade science at 60.22% versus 41.2% statewide and 8th-grade ELA at 59.62% versus 44.0%, though 8th-grade math was 27.88%, below the state’s 34.2%. The high school graduates 98.7% of students versus 89.7% statewide, yet its SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing was 40.0% versus 51.9% and SAT Math 11.11% versus 25.6%.

Chronic absenteeism climbs sharply by grade level: 8.5% at the elementary, 10.2% at the middle, and 20.3% at the high school, which is above the district’s 11.9% and the state’s 16.7%. Per-student spending also rises with grade level — $8,777, $9,151, and $11,804 respectively — with the high school spending about 34.5% more than the elementary. Science is a strength earlier and a weakness later: 58.06% at the elementary and 60.22% at the middle, but high-school Biology End of Course was 34.53%. Notably, the elementary has the highest free/reduced-lunch rate (51.45%) yet the lowest absenteeism and strong math and science results.
