Within the school’s results, grade 6 mathematics was the strongest reported core-subject grade result at 43%, while grade 8 science was lowest at 16%, compared with 19% statewide, or 3 points below. Algebra I was a striking exception to the lower science result: proficiency was 100% for both the end-of-course result and grade 8. Those results were 60 points above the state’s 40% end-of-course result and 26 points above its 75% grade 8 result. These are separate Algebra I reporting categories, not part of the grades 6–8 averages.
