Sartartia Middle stands out for its exceptional academic performance, particularly in advanced coursework.

While its statewide ranking has seen a slight decline from the 98th-99th percentile to the 95th, Sartartia Middle remains an elite school that delivers consistent, high-quality education for its students.
