Mathematics is the school’s strongest subject. In 2025–2026, 8th-grade math proficiency was 69.14%, well above the district’s 67.60% and the state’s 41.67% — a 27.47-point lead over the state.

ELA is the main relative weakness: all-grade ELA was 34.70%, below the district’s 38.27% and the state’s 40.03%, and both 7th- and 8th-grade ELA trailed the state. Science improved from 27.44% to 37.71% year over year but remained below the district’s 44.57% and the state’s 40.98%. Civics rose from 27.44% to 41.48%, moving above the district’s 40.56% and the state’s 39.77%.
Over three reported years, the school has stayed at 3 stars, with percentile moving from 68 to 60 to 61. Its 2025–2026 percentile matches the district’s 61st percentile. In grade-level rows, the school was slightly above the district in every reported subject-grade combination, but in all-grade rows it was below the district in ELA, math, and science — a pattern that may reflect different aggregation methods. Context data are limited: free/reduced lunch is blank, spending is from 2020–2021, and the student/teacher ratio is from 2024–2025. Since this is the only middle school in the ZIP code, no within-area comparison is possible. The bottom line: math is a clear strength, especially in 8th grade; ELA is the relative weakness; science and civics showed substantial improvement.
