This school stands out for its exceptional academic results, with proficiency rates that far exceed both district and state averages.

The school also maintains a low chronic absenteeism rate of 9.4%, significantly better than the district average of 16.7% and lower than nearby schools like Oakdale Elementary (16.5%) and Green Valley Elementary (12.9%). This consistency in attendance and performance underscores a supportive learning environment.
