A few grade-level results are worth watching. At the middle school, 7th grade ELA is 36.08%, below the state's 39.91%. At the elementary school, 4th grade math is essentially at the state average, 43.05% versus 43.20%. Spending figures are available only for the middle school ($17,795 per student) and high school ($17,420 per student) for 2020–2021; the elementary school has none reported. Free and reduced lunch rates are not reported for any school here, so economic context cannot be assessed from these figures.
