The Garrison School has experienced a significant decline in its statewide ranking, going from a top 15 school in 2014-2015 to being ranked in the bottom 5% of elementary schools in the state in 2024-2025.

This indicates that the students at Garrison School are struggling academically and are not meeting the expected standards for their grade levels.
