Rank history shows steady top-quartile performance at 4 stars in 2023–2024, 2024–2025, and 2025–2026, though the percentile has eased from 81 to 78 to 77.

For context, 32.52% of students received free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, and the student–teacher ratio was 19.4:1. Because this is a single small school with small grade-level cohorts, results can swing noticeably from year to year.
