Areas to watch: the elementary scored above the district in all 9 reported assessments but above the state in only 5, with upper-grade ELA and 6th grade math below state averages. The high school was above the district in 9 of 11 assessments and above the state in 8, but 7th grade math (36.5%) and ELA 7 (56.3%) fell below both, and Geometry (35.4%) was above the district but below the state. Note also that results swing year to year, free/reduced lunch data is unavailable for both schools, and spending figures date to 2018–2019.
