The middle school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, going from a 4-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 3-star rating in the following two years, indicating some inconsistency in its performance compared to other middle schools in the state.

This demographic factor may influence the school's outcomes and should be considered when evaluating its performance.
