The school generally outperforms state averages in most subjects, including 6th-grade Reading and Math, but 8th-grade Social Studies (32.47% proficient) is a bubble subject, only slightly above the state average and lagging behind the school's other 8th-grade scores.

The school's consistent pattern of 8th graders outperforming younger peers suggests a strong cumulative academic program, though the 7th-grade Math slump and Social Studies performance are key areas for targeted intervention.
