One area to watch is Algebra I, where proficiency is 61.2%—the school's lowest subject score and the only one where it trails its own district (66.5%), though it is still nearly double the state average. Grade-level test data also reveals a retester pattern: for example, 10th-grade Biology I proficiency is just 31.4% compared to 80.2% for 9th graders, reflecting upperclassmen retaking end-of-course exams rather than declining ability.
