Its clearest challenge is mathematics: 30% of students were proficient, 20 points below the district and 17 points below the average for nearby traditional high schools.

English language arts is the school’s strongest current subject. Proficiency was 48%, above the state and Pretty Prairie district at 46% each, and 5 points above the nearby-school average; it ranked second among the four traditional high schools with scores.
