In 2025–2026 all-grade proficiency, the school trails the state in every subject: Math 23.6% vs. 44.9%, Reading 37.5% vs. 48.6%, and Science 5.9% vs. 25.5%. The encouraging news is that proficiency rose in every subject from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 — Math from 15.28% to 23.6%, Reading from 26.03% to 37.5%, and Science from 0% to 5.9% — while state averages slipped slightly, so the gap narrowed by 8.63 points in Math, 12.46 in Reading, and 6.55 in Science. The school's rank also improved from 863 of 881 schools in 2023–2024 (2nd percentile, 0 stars) to 627 of 869 in 2025–2026 (28th percentile, 1 star), a 236-position gain.
Performance varies sharply by grade. Fourth grade Math is a genuine bright spot at 78.6% proficient vs. 55.2% statewide, and fifth grade Reading is 63.6% vs. 54.5%. But third grade Reading is 7.7%, sixth grade Math is 0%, eighth grade Math is 0%, and eighth grade Science is 0%; fifth grade Science is 9.5%. Note that seventh grade Math and Reading are suppressed by the state and should be treated as unknown, not as zero. Overall, this is a high-poverty school making measurable progress, with real strengths in fourth grade Math and fifth grade Reading and clear remaining gaps in middle-school Math and Science.
