Both schools provide a strong educational foundation, consistently outperforming state averages across all tested subjects, despite serving a student population where nearly half are economically disadvantaged.

Its 6th-grade ELA proficiency rate of 91% is exceptional, and the school's overall ELA score of 84% significantly surpasses both the district (79%) and state (70%) averages.

In contrast, the Elementary School's strongest subject is Social Studies (67%), where it slightly edges out the Middle School (65%). Both schools demonstrate consistent strength in Mathematics, with the Middle School (81%) and Elementary School (76%) both well above the district (71%) and state (62%) averages, indicating a robust, vertically-aligned math curriculum across the entire system.
While the Elementary School has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio (11.8:1) compared to the Middle School (13.5:1), both schools maintain low chronic absenteeism rates below the state average. The Elementary School has a history of stable state rankings in the 80th-82nd percentile, while the Middle School's exceptional test scores point to a highly effective instructional program in grades 4-6. For families, this data suggests a reliable and high-quality educational environment from Pre-K through 6th grade, with a particularly strong emphasis on literacy development as students transition to the middle school level.
