The school reports a low student-teacher ratio of 8 and per-student spending of $26,315 for 2020–2021, though that spending year is older than the test score and ratio data. Free/reduced lunch is not reported for 2024–2025, so socioeconomic context is unavailable and should not be treated as zero. With only 146 students, grade-level percentages can swing from year to year. Overall, the available data show a school performing above its district and the state in most reported MCAS areas, with 4th Grade Math its strongest relative result and 3rd Grade Math its main area to watch.
