Attendance adds a contrasting signal: Academy reported 0% chronic absenteeism in 2025–26, while Junior/Senior High reported 25%, compared with 18% statewide. These figures describe different outcomes and do not explain why the schools’ results differ.

Recent test-score changes were mixed: Junior/Senior High’s ELA increased by 1 point from 2024–25 to 2025–26, keeping pace with the state, while its math rose by 1 point as the state rose by 2, narrowing the school’s math advantage by 1 point.
