Carney Elementary School stands out in the latest all-grades math results, with 25% proficient—equal to the state rate—compared with 9% at Carney High School, a 16-point gap. The high school’s strongest supplied result is U.S. History: 47%, 6 points above the state’s 41%. Its weaker results include ELA I at 15% versus 26% statewide and science at 15% versus 30%; in the more directly matched 11th-grade results, ELA I is 15% versus 36% statewide. In 2024–2025 science, elementary was at 33% and high school at 12%, a 21-point difference. The schools serve different grade spans, so all-grades comparisons are not comparisons of the same grades.
