Graduation is a bright spot: in 2023–24, 97% of students graduated, 8 percentage points above the state rate and equal to the district’s rate.

Science was the exception: 35% proficiency was 4 points below the state and ranked third among nearby schools. Results also differ by grade: seventh-grade ELA and math were 66% and 69%, while eighth-grade ELA was 40%, below the state’s 42%, and eleventh-grade science was 24%, below the state’s 30%.
