Science is the school’s strongest all-grade result and ELA its lowest: 78.9% were proficient in science, compared with 65.9% in ELA, a 13-point difference. Within the reported grades, fourth grade stands out, with 74.4% proficiency in ELA and 81.4% in math; third-grade ELA is the lowest listed grade-level result at 57.8%. Even there, the school was 19.3 points above the state result. Since this is the only school listed for the ZIP code, there is no meaningful local top-to-bottom school comparison.
Recent results improved in math and science but dipped slightly in ELA: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, math rose 6.9 points and science 15.3 points, while ELA fell 1.0 point. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking also improved, moving from 22nd of 166 schools in 2023–2024 to 7th of 163 in 2025–2026. The school’s reported student–teacher ratio is 12.3, its free/reduced-lunch rate is 18.85%, and spending is $16,627 per student; these figures offer context but do not establish what explains its results. With only one school in the list, the data cannot show how it compares with other schools in the ZIP code.
