The school's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with 32.43% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (compared to the state average of 43.09%), 40.54% proficient or better in Mathematics (compared to 36.77% statewide), and 0% proficient or better in Science (compared to 38.16% statewide).
