The school has shown mixed performance on state assessments, with strong results in 5th grade math and science but struggling in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts (ELA), where proficiency rates are significantly below the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 31.31% in 2021-2022 to 46.98% in 2023-2024, suggesting a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.
