Grades 7–8 are the pressure point, with 8th math at 14.3% versus state 42.3% and 7th reading at 16.1% versus state 43.5%, though End of Course science is above state at 37.9%. Its rank fell from the 64th to 56th percentile. The district's mid-pack ranking masks very different outcomes across its three schools.
