Fifth-grade writing was a strength: 45% were proficient, 10 points above the state and 15 above the district. Fifth-grade math was the largest weakness, at 27% proficient versus 43% statewide and 38% in the district.

Overall, the results vary considerably by subject and grade rather than showing one consistent strength or weakness.

Results moved down overall from the previous year, while science improved.
