Attendance is a relative strength. Chronic absenteeism was below the state rate in four of the five reported years, including 22.5% vs. 38.1% in 2022–23 and 23.5% vs. 34.3% in 2023–24, though it rose to 27.4% vs. 33.5% in 2024–25, so the recent trend is worth watching. Graduation rates have generally been at or above the state average, sometimes well above: 93.3% vs. 81.8% in 2023–24 and 94.4% vs. 80.6% in 2020–21. The exception was 2022–23, when the rate fell to 71.4% vs. the state’s 81.3%; in 2024–25 it was essentially tied at 83.3% vs. 83.0%. With 213 students across K–12, a few students can shift these rates significantly.
Academics are mixed and vary by grade. In 2025–26 OSAS all-grade results, the school was slightly below state in English language arts (41.2% vs. 43.8%), essentially tied in math (33.3% vs. 32.9%), and above state in science (37.2% vs. 30.6%). Strong grade-level pockets include 4th grade ELA (66.7% vs. 43.5%), 6th grade math (42.9% vs. 29.7%), and 7th grade ELA (50.0% vs. 45.3%). Weaker spots include 8th grade ELA (27.8% vs. 41.5%), 8th grade math (16.7% vs. 30.0%), and 5th grade math (20.0% vs. 32.4%). Eleventh-grade ELA, math, and science are suppressed by the state, so they are unknown. All-grade science is above state even though visible 5th and 8th grade science are below state (26.7% vs. 30.8% and 26.3% vs. 27.7%). The school has a resource-intensive small-school profile: per-student spending was $27,094 in 2024–25, down from $30,150 in 2021–22, with a student–teacher ratio of 11.6 and free/reduced lunch at 43.66%, down from 56.35%.
