The standout performance of these schools is evident in a few key areas.

However, the data also reveals some areas for improvement. While the elementary school's math proficiency is a strength, the high school's math performance lags behind, with only 34.5% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to the district's 47.1% and the state's 41.7%. Additionally, the high school's SchoolDigger rating has fluctuated between 3 stars and 2 stars over the past three school years, suggesting some volatility in its overall performance. Both schools have a relatively high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, indicating a significant population of students from low-income households, which may be an important factor to consider when analyzing the schools' performance and resource needs.
