A positive trend is seen in 8th grade math, where proficiency (58%) is six points above the state average (52%).

The stark contrast between strong ELA performance and weak Social Studies performance across all grade levels suggests a specific instructional area needing attention. Overall, Many Junior High School is effectively managing attendance better than its district peers and achieving solid academic results despite high poverty levels, making it a school that is performing well relative to its challenges.
