The district is listed at rank 194 of 351, 45th percentile, 2 stars, while the school has been a 3-star school in each of the last three reported years. The free/reduced-lunch value is not available, so economic context cannot be assessed from this data set.

At the all-grade level in 2025–2026, ELA was 36.72% and math was 38.14%, both below the state’s 40.03% and 41.11%. Year over year, ELA fell from 50.58% to 36.72%, a 13.86-point drop, while math fell from 42.32% to 38.14%. Science declined from 55.21% to 48.19%, and 8th-grade civics moved from above district and state to 4.47 points below the district and 0.64 points below the state. Per-student spending was $15,776 in 2020–2021, and the student/teacher ratio was 14.4 in 2024–2025. Overall, the school has strong science, strong 7th-grade math, and a solid 3-star rank, but also weak 5th-grade math, below-state ELA and math overall, and a sharp ELA decline to watch.
