It outperforms the district and state averages in several test score metrics, including M-Step Science, M-Step Social Studies, SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and SAT Mathematics. In contrast, Waterford Durant High School, despite having a low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.9, struggles academically, with test scores well below the district and state averages.
