Even with those gains, the schools’ results vary, and some remain well below state figures.

Boswell High School stands out for all-grades ELA I, at 30% versus 26% statewide, and for graduation: 91% in 2024–2025 versus 78% statewide, a 13-point advantage. Its 11th-grade ELA I result was different, however: 30% versus 36% statewide. Boswell Elementary School was closest to the state in all-grades math, with 24% versus 25%. Boswell Middle School had the lowest reported all-grades results in both subjects: 11% in ELA I versus 26% statewide and 14% in math versus 25%. Because the schools serve different grades, these all-grades comparisons are descriptive rather than grade-matched.

Elementary’s math gap narrowed from 13 points to 1, while High moved from 1 point below the state in ELA I to 4 points above.
